An analysis of Marxist notion of exploitation in relation to today’s Kenyan media functions
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 7
Abstract
“Surely Marxism isn‟t relevant anymore? We have moved on since Marx was writing” this is one of the common questions people tent to ask when reflecting on the relevance of Marxism. The real questions one needs to ask is whether the broad outlines of Marx‟s ideas fit for the society today. In this paper, I argue that Marxian thoughts are still valid and useful even more than in Marx‟s own times. This argument is explored with the analysis of Marxian notion of exploitation in relation to current Kenyan media functions. This analysis explores Marxism, the relevance of Marxism, the media climate in Kenya and finally Marx‟s notion of exploitation and Kenyan media
