• This would emerge after a transitional period called the “dictatorship of the proletariat”

CONCLUSION
Marx is vocal about uneven distribution as an example of injustice.
Justice is not merely just laws, but also, just laws emanating from a just society. It is not merely economic or social in nature but also socio – economic in nature.
