6. Institutional values and norms tend to mirror variations of evaluative criteria related to changes in recognition processes. Status allocations also change because of these relationships.[/QUOTE]

What Marx deemed to be social injustices in a capitalist society are natural processes for an advanced technological world. If one cannot find social equality, why bother proposing a society based on an impossibility? Marx failed to realize the necessity of inequalities for an efficient allocation of labor.

People have to be smart about their government. Do they want a free society or do they want a government owned and operated society? If they allow corporate abuses to upset them, they may become irrational and take over those corporations. That has happened to some capitalistic societies. Then, to eliminate corporate abuse, such as monopoly practices, the government takes over industries. This is what Marx proposed. Take over those evil companies, large and small, and make it a socialist society. If things really go well for the government, soon there will be no private run companies or private property. It's called Communism, just what Marxists want.Social recognition theory addresses truths about the human condition. Humans seek recognition based on norms and values learned from socialization, and from everyday interactions with others who, depending on related norms and values, influence one’s self-perception. The aggregate of social interaction processes, including thought processes reinforcing, either positively or negatively, result in feelings of self-worth and, subsequently, competency based social actions. Because humans have freewill to accept, reject, or otherwise, alter self-perceptions related to social situations, social change is more common than strict adherence to societal norms and values. Social recognition processes continue to affect feelings of self-worth as individuals, applying competence-based criteria, continue to interact.
The framework for this theory includes a comprehensive statement for critiquing and subjugating other theories to the social recognition perspective. Again, the primary basis for this decision is the soundness of ideas related to human behavior. One may propose, but there is little reason, or theoretical justification, for rejecting a “competency” based human theory for one based on false assumptions. In this regard, Marxist’s assumption of social equality becoming the basis of communism is flawed insofar as there is no evidence. Where do you find social equality in the real world? It doesn’t exist! People are motivated according to their competences, not according to fictitious assumptions based a fairyland social order. After a careful analysis of Marx’s writings, one concludes Marx got it wrong. Communism is based on an unsound, or fictitious, social order. Why don’t Marxists understand the error of their ways? A serious problem with Marxism is the rulers of the state are dictators of the people. Rather than allowing the people to determine their own destiny, allocation of labor, and regulatory functions, government officials become absolute rulers. The consequences, of course, is curtailment of individual freedom for maximizing human potential.
“Competence” based social processes are real and can be substantiated with evidence. Under capitalism, people continue with competency based social interactions, and evaluations, resulting in efficient allocation of labor. Whereas under communism, equality-based groups, social institutions, or societies are dysfunctional. It is important to understand consequences! Communism has, and continues, to have a significant impact on the world as nations continue to be threatened by dysfunctionalities. It is interesting, in most communist nations, rulers utilize capitalism for an efficient allocation of labor, and to maximize production of goods and services. What is the communist way? It is a phony social order, but, if properly managed with capitalist methods, communism appears to be successful.
