The Class Struggle!
The class struggle mostly leads to dictatorship of the proletarians (the class of workers). The proletarians gain this dictatorship when they create bands and try to show power against the Bourgeoisie. As a result, the proletarians uses a strategy to make the upper class feel guilty
for their actions because they treat them as objects and not as a mean to themselves. Hence, in most countries the middle class as a faux-class.
Will this strategy continue to work as the Bourgeoisie find new ways to make their enterprises more efficient?
An example of this innovation will be: the usage of automatic machinery in the workplace.

ReplyDeleteTo answer your question, I believe that this strategy will continue to work as long as the bourgeoisie find new ways to make their enterprises more efficient. As a example of them doing this, they can continue to raise prices so that the proletarians can stay lower class. It's a way of dividing the human kind into groups of wealth.
ReplyDeleteI think that there will be a constant struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, because once the proletariat start to get the upper hand by their strategy of making the bourgeoisie feel guilty, the bourgeoisie will change their ways and put the lower class back down to the bottom and they will have to start over, in the terms of coming up with a new strategy. It will always be a struggle of who has the power with rebellion of the proletariat, and the constant changes made by the upper class.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree. He defines proletariat as the working class. If the working class was just the poor then this might hold some standard. However, the proletariat in Marx view is EVERYONE except the Bourgeois which he defines the producer of the means of productions. In today's society there are more than just two classes, but because Marx confines society to just two classes one could see how his theory could be correct. The fact of the matter is that there are more than two classes in society and not everyone is going to be unhappy enough at the same time to come together to over throw capitalism. Plus dictatorships usually turn out to be a tyrant making radical laws anyways. Based on history atleast.
