The Communist Manifesto - Bourgeoisie and Proletariat

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a revolutionary German economist and philosopher and founder of the Communist movement. Marx writes in the context of huge industrial transformation. Crowded and newly industrialized cities are expanding and many working classes live in extreme poverty. Marx regards history as a story of a class struggle, where oppressor and oppressor are struggling. Marx believes that with the development of history, the victory of the class opens the way to the freedom of the future society.

In ancient and medieval society, land and wealthy first suppressed slavery and the poorest citizens and workers.

And all changed due to the invention of new technology and strengthening market power. Middle class - get wealth and power from trade and manufacturing - challenge the power and authority of the old rulers

But at this stage a new struggle took place between bourgeoisie (property of property) and proletariat (industrial working class).

Marx believed that bourgeois bourgeoisie mercilessly exploited proletariat. He noticed that the work done by proletariat produced enormous wealth for the capitalist. The selling price of the products manufactured at the factory (the important result of the labor force of the workers) is higher than the value of the labor itself, that is, the wages of the workers. For example, factory workers can get 2 pounds of cloth. The capitalist then sold the fabric for five pounds. In this way capitalists who manage the production process will benefit. However, workers did not benefit from this added value and did not benefit from their own labor results.

Marx believes that capitalism contains its own destruction species. He explained how bourgeoisie wealth depends on the work of proletariat. Therefore, a lower class is needed for capitalism. But Marx predicted that continued exploitation of this lower class would cause great dissatisfaction. Eventually, proletariat will revolutionize bourgeoisie. The final struggle will lead to capitalism and overthrow of its supporters. Marx wrote that the modern bourgeois society "it is impossible to control the power of the underworld that he summons with spells like a magician".

After proletariat breaks capitalism, a new classless society will emerge based on the idea that "according to his ability, according to his needs, anyone". In such a society, land, industry, labor, and wealth will be shared among all people. Everyone has the right to receive education, class structure will disappear. Harmony will dominate and the country will only be "dead"

It is bourgeoisie and proletariat. According to Carl Marx of the "Communist Party Declaration", this battle ends with "revolutionary reconstruction of society as a whole or general destruction of competitive classes" (Marx 8). Marx believes that proletariat will continue to exist as bourgeoisie is unstable and bourgeoisie armed with proletarian resistance while unaware of it. In order to understand the discussion and theory of Karl Marx in the Communist Party Declaration, it is necessary to understand the difference.

In the "Communist Party Declaration", intellectuals are called "paid wage workers" by bourgeoisie ("Communist Party Declaration", p. 16). The term of Marx here is a strong similarity between intellectuals and proletariat. Nonetheless, the context clearly shows here also that their real status is within the capitalist class. Marx said in this category, "The class that dominates the material power of society is also the intellectual power of its control: (German ideology, page 39)." Marx used "ruling class" in some way. A statement of expression suggests a more functional definition that remarks that the true power of every ruling class is in Marx.

Marx and Engel have long recognized that proletariat's working class or revolutionary institution is the only class that can lead to a transition to a socialist society. In the "Communist declaration", "Bourgeoisie finally dug their own grave, and its collapse and victory of proletariat can not be avoided," they said. Thus, the revolutionary strategy based on this class did not diminish the importance of combating women's oppression in Marxist theorists from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. As Leon Trotsky said, "In order to change living conditions, we need to learn to see them through the eyes of women." 5
