The claim that there is a moral dimension in Marx's thought is widely accepted. Rejecting this conclusion, argues that while moral progress is a reality, retrospective moral judgements on the past serve little purpose. Marx's critical method is immanent and historical; his social theory provides the basis on which it is developed and justified.

THIS ARTICLE EXPLORES HOW MARX CRITICIZED CAPITALISM AND ON WHAT BASIS DID HE ADVOCATE SOCIALISM? MARX'S OWN ACCOUNT OF THESE MATTERS SEEMS PUZZLING. ON ONE HAND, HE CLAIMS TO BE PUTTING FORWARD AN OBJECTIVE AND "SCIENTIFIC" THEORY OF HIS HISTORY, A FUNDAMENTAL TENET OF WHICH IS THAT MORAL VALUES INCLUDING THOSE OF MARXISM ITSELF - ARE SOCIAL AND HISTORIAL PRODUCTS. ON THE OTHER HAND, MARXISM DOES NOT CLAIM TO BE A "NEUTRAL" OR "VALUE FREE" APPROACH. IT QUITE EXPLICITLY CONDEMNS CAPITALISM AND ADVOCATES SOCIALISM; A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE IS INTEGRAL TO IT.

Abstract
This paper extends standard consumer theory to account for endogenous moral motivation. Building on cognitive dissonance theory, I show how moral values are affected by changes in prices and income. The key insight is that changes in prices and income that lead to higher consumption of an immoral good also affect the moral values held by the consumer so that the good is considered less immoral. A preliminary empirical analysis based on the World Values Survey is consistent with the model's predictions with respect to income.
