According to Karl Marx, the means of production were owned by the capitalist class, who used them to exploit the labor of the working class for profit. Marx believed this created a class struggle between the bourgeoisie (capitalists) and the proletariat (workers).
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in their Communist Manifesto, argued that the working class (proletariat) would eventually rise up in revolution against the capitalist class (bourgeoisie) and ultimately overthrow both the owners of the means of production and the government, leading to the establishment of a classless society.
Karl Marx's view on capitalism was the the bourgeoisie consists of those who own and control means of production allowing them to dominate and exploit the working class.
In Marxist theory, the bourgeoisie refers to the capitalist class who own and control the means of production, such as business owners, factory owners, and wealthy individuals. They are seen as exploiting the working class, or proletariat, to generate profits and maintain their societal power and influence.
The Marxist theory of class struggle is appealing to the working class because it sheds light on the exploitative nature of the capitalist mode of production and the historic conflict of the workers interest with that of the bosses interest inherent in the system.Furthermore, Marxist theory advocates working class unity and solidarity in an effort to resolve the worker/boss conflict by means of an international workers social revolution that replaces private property forms with socialized property forms.
Karl Marx believed in a class struggle between the bourgeoisie (the wealthy property owners) and the proletariat (the working class). He argued that capitalism led to exploitation and inequality, ultimately advocating for a revolution to overthrow the capitalist system and establish a classless society where the means of production are collectively owned.
