Communism

The Manifesto was written and published in the late 1840’s as an outline of the ideals and aims of the communist party.  The work was written by two dedicated revolutionaries Frederick Engels and Carl Marx.  Their work quickly spread through Europe and drew the following of the working class.  As a result the much abused and subjugated bourgeois used the writings as a blueprint for revolution.  The Manifesto gave people a vision of an land of equal distribution of property which is owned by no one.  This would give power to the working class and eliminated the abuses of the past.
     The historical reference in correlation to Marxist theory abides by the rules of a governing class over a poorer class.  This has always been prevalent in any society that you can look up in history.  In the feudal period knights ruled over their peasants while in return he gave them protection from outside enemies.  The peasants tiled the land and gave the knight a percentage of what the made, while they also got a percentage to live off.  In 1787 in France a revolution spurred about because of the noblemen who ruled over the bourgeoisie, who consisted not only of peasants but also of lawyers and businessmen.  They were considered the equal of a peasant because their names weren’t part of the old guard.  The ruling class was a lineage ruling class that didn’t really serve the interest of the greater majority of the people.  This served as the basis of revolt.

The working class now in rule, however, would rule in a socialist setting.  This would mean a equal distribution of the production to all the families.  Land would also be equally distributed.  The basis of political revolution isn’t sought by philosophy, but in the economics of each particular epoch.
     Marx viewed the past as an endless cycle of revolution and abuse of power.  He saw that even after a revolution of the bourgeois a distinct class system was still in place.
     The idea of capitalism inevitably creates a climate for class conflict.  The system is based solely on the idea of winners and losers in the economic arena. The working class is set to be under the successful capitalists who own the businesses and industries.  The financial needs and dreams for upward mobility cause the subjugated working class to ban together against the corporate moguls who rule over them.  This class conflict is the center of Marx’s theory.
     The proletariat is the ruling class that exerts its power over the working classes under them.  In many cases the power of the ruling class is gained by title alone.  The proletariat run their businesses like omnipotent tyrants who will always be ...
