Kritik terhadap Hukum dan Kapitalisme dalam pemikiran Karl Marx

Abstract

There has been a long debate until now regarding Karl Marx's conflict theory, especially the criticism of his political economy theory. If examined critically, Marx's theory of society is an ideal society theory because in that theory Marx emphasized the need for economic equality, social justice that reaches all levels of society and the absence of classes in society. Humans can exploit all economic resources that are considered to provide optimal welfare for them. This study aims to analyze Karl Marx's criticism of the relevance between law and the Job Creation Law and identify how law plays a role in supporting or hindering economic interests in the capitalist system. By understanding Karl Marx's criticism, this study is expected to be able to evaluate the extent to which law in the capitalist system The research method used is conceptual by analyzing through a conceptual approach because of its philosophical concept from Karl Marx and its descriptive analytical tools, a conceptual analytical study using sources of books, articles, journals and laws and regulations. The results of the study stated that the data found revealed that Marx's concept of capitalism did not emphasize the political aspect alone but also the economic aspect that he had studied for several years. Before assessing capitalism further, Marx first studied the concept used by the capitalist system, so that what Marx expressed in his various critical concepts was something that happened within them. It can be seen that the Job Creation Law represents law as an instrument of capitalism, where regulations are more directed at supporting investment and capital accumulation, while workers and small communities tend to be in a weaker position.
