For AMD 6, I started reading Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’s Communist Manifesto, which begins with the famous line “The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles.” The present class struggle is that of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat and Marx portends that all struggles “ended in a revolutionary re-constitution of society, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.” The bourgeoisie is forcing the whole word to accommodate their system or become obsolete. Yet, obstacles arise and Marx says that the bourgeoisie’s remedy for these obstacles is only either temporarily suppressing it or diminishing their own future power to suppress it. The proletariat needs revolution in order to improve its own position; the existing social structure cannot be simply modified, it must be entirely overthrown. The existing social structure tends towards widening the gap between the social classes. The interests of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat are opposed: the employees gain, is the employers loss, and the nature of this relationship suggests an inevitable dissolution.
