Yes, Karl Marx believed that the working class, or proletariat, was oppressed by the middle class, or bourgeoisie, in capitalist societies. He argued that the bourgeoisie exploited the labor of the proletariat to generate profits, leading to inequality and alienation among the working class. Marx believed that this class struggle would eventually lead to a revolution to overthrow the bourgeoisie and establish a more equal society.

No. The working class, or Proletariat, was oppressed by the upper class, which he called the Bourgeoisie. Marx gave paid very little attention to the middle class, which he called the petty bourgeoisie, feeling that the middle class was more apt to aspire to be part of the upper class than the lower class.

Marx never said any class oppressed the "middle class." Marx said the "bourgeoisie" (owners and controllers of the means of production) oppressed the "proletariat" (wage employees who own only the right to sell their own labors).

What was middle classs?

The original meaning is: people in the middle of the social hierarchy; better off and 'higher up' than blue-collar workers, but not belonging to the financial and/or social elite. The British made and still make the distinction between 'lower middle class' - more or less equal to what Americans most often mean when they use the term middle class - and 'upper middle class', meaning well-to-do, and often holding high-level jobs, and as families, well- established in British society. In the US, 'middle class' usually means: college or university educated, homeowner, being able to build up savings more or less sufficient for early retirement, being able to pay for a college education for their kids, working in middle management jobs or running mid-sized companies or as 'professionals' such as lawyers, dentists, accountants etcetera.


Why did bin laden cause 911?

According to former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer, who led the CIA's hunt for Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader was motivated by a belief that U.S. foreign policy has oppressed, killed, or otherwise harmed Muslims in the Middle East, condensed in the phrase "They hate us for what we do, not who we are."
