How did Karl Marx's theories try to eliminate social classes?

Answer 1

Marx predicted that the proletariat would become larger and larger and eventually take over the means of production from the other social class, the bourgeoisie. The proletariat would then institute a government called "the Dictatorship of the proletariat." This would be a democratic government but would be open only to members of the proletariat. All bourgeoisie would be excluded. This government would impose socialism (not communism) on society and do away with capitalism. Over generations of time, the dictatorship would work to wipe out all vestiges of capitalist thought. This would eliminate the social class of the bourgeoisie and eventually there would be no separation of the people into two classes. That's when true communism would exist.
