What were 2 warring classes that Marx and Engels outlined in The Comminist Manifesto?

Answer 1

Marx and Engels first gave a broad sweep of the history of Europe in the past several hundred years where they talk about the fall of feudalism and the rise of capitalism and how the bourgeoisie formed and how they brought all these great big changes to the world and how they expand their trades and the capitalist mode of production throughout the rest of the world.

They then talk about the proletariat and what it's relation is to the bourgeoisie and how they are exploited and so forth. Then they talk about communism and the proletariat and how it is the goal of communists to engage with the proletariat more broadly politically and lead a proletarian revolution in order to free humanity from exploitation and poverty and so forth.

They never elaborated on any general theory of class they held in The Communist Manifesto.

Answer 2

Marx and Engels outlined the bourgeoisie, the capitalist class who owned the means of production, and the proletariat, the working class who had to sell their labor to survive, as the two warring classes in The Communist Manifesto. They argued that the conflict between these classes would ultimately lead to a revolution that would overthrow the capitalist system.

Answer 3

The two classes that Marx and Engels wrote about were the Proletariat (wage earners) and the Bourgeoisie (boor-jwa-ZEE), those interested in money, were generally those who hired the members of the Proletariat.
