The Communist Manifesto : Bourgeoisie and Proletariat

The Communist Manifesto: Communism (in 1848) was already acknowledged by all European Powers. Oppressor and Oppressed stand in opposition Bourgeoisie formed new classes with new ways of oppression and new struggle. Bourgeoisie simplified class antagonisms. Society is splitting into 2 classes: Bourgeoisie or Proletariat. The feudal system wasn't satisfying the needs of new markets, the markets were growing, and demand was rising. Steam and Machine revolutionary industrial production. Place of manufacturer taken by Modern Industry (Modern Bourgeoisie). Modern Industry established world market. Caused immense development to commerce. The Modern Bourgeoisie is, itself, the product of a course of development. Each step in development of bourgeoisie accomplished by corresponding political abundance. Oppressed class under sway of feudal noble (medieval type problem). The Bourgeoisie puts an end to all feudal, patriarchal and idyllic relations. Bourgeoisie cannot exist w/out constantly revolutionizing the Industry of Production. All the European powers are allied against communism. In early times, we see society arranged into complicated class structures; IE: feudal lords, vassals, guild masters, journeymen, apprentices and serfs. Modern Bourgeoisie sprouted from ruins of feudal society. Modern Bourgeoisie is the product of several revolutions in production and exchange gained momentum in age of exploration. Feudal guilds couldn't keep up with increasing markets, manufacturing middle class took place Manufacturing kept growing, when manufacturing couldn't keep up Every form of society is based off of antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes. To continue the oppressing, the conditions must apply with the continuation of slavish treatment. "The essential conditions for the and for the sway of the bourgeoisie class is the formation and augmentation of capital; the condition for capital is wage labor ." (section 1).
