Bourgeoise and Proletarians
Modern bourgeoisie came from ruins of feudal society
It established- new classes, conditions of oppression, forms of struggle in place of old ways.
With the concept of Free Trade- exploitation veiled by religious and political illusions now substituted by naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation
Bourgeoise has torn away from a sentimental veil into a mere money relation
How is it different from the previous societies?
-constant revolutionizing of production
-uninterrupted disturbance of social condition
-everlasting uncertainty and agitation
Bourgeoise(through the exploitation of world market)-provided cosmopolitan character(to prod. and cons.)
Consequence is political centralization and everything is lumped into one nation
Epidemic of over-production- he won’t be able to control what he produced
ie. his condition is too narrow to comprise the wealth created by him
The modern working class proletarians can live only as long as they find work and work only as long their labor increases capital
The price of a commodity( including labor)= cost of production
Because of the fruits of bourgeoisie such as machinery and improved communication, proletarians need to centralize the numerous local struggles into one national struggle between classes
The other intermediate classes( artisans, shopkeepers etc) with wither away and hence to sustain they have to join the proletarians in the struggle
Important points-
1.precedding class got an upper hand by the majority to their conditions of appropriation
2.proletarians can’t become masters of productive forces; they instead by destroying the previous mode of production hence every other previous mode.
3.This movement is different because- previously it was a movement of minorities in the favor of minorities. Proletariats are conscious, independent movt. of majority in the interest of the majority
