Fromm says, Marxs concept of being and having is summarized in his sentence: the less you are the less you express of your life - the more you HAVE and the greater is your alientated life... Everything the economist takes away from you in the way of life and humanity, he restores to you in the form of money and wealth. Marx refers to the having mode of existence, not to possession as such.. the goal is not luxury and wealth, nor is it poverty; in fact, both luxury and poverty are looked upon by Marx as vices. The goal is to give birth. Marx: Let us assume man to be man, and his relation to the world to be human one. Then, love can only be exchanged for love, trust for trust, ect. If you wish to enjoy art, you must be an artistically cultivated person; if you wish to influence other people, you must be a person who really has a stimulating and encouraging effect upon others. Every one of your relations to man and to nature must be a specific expression, corresponding to the object of your will, of your real individual life. If you love without evoking love in return i.e., if you are not able, by the MANIFESTATION of yourself as a loving person, to make yourself a BELOVED PERSON, then love is impotent and a misfortune.
