All those who have to work for wages, i.e. have to sell their labour power to an employer in return for a wage.
Karl Marx viewed life as a struggle between social classes, particularly between the bourgeoisie (the ruling class) and the proletariat (the working class). He believed that life under capitalism led to alienation and exploitation of the working class, and he advocated for a classless society where the means of production are collectively owned.
Marx called them proletarians as individuals and proletariat as a societal class.
Karl Marx
According to Marxist thought, the word bourgeoisie was used for the rich class of property owners that exploited the working class. Karl Marx was a socialist and economist who lived from 1818 to 1883.
According to Karl Marx, the proletariat (working class) would one day overthrow the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) in a revolutionary movement, leading to the establishment of a classless society based on common ownership of the means of production. This overthrow of the capitalist system would result in the withering away of the state and the end of exploitation and inequality.
According to Karl Marx, the warring classes in society are the bourgeoisie (capitalist class who own the means of production) and the proletariat (working class who sell their labor for wages). Marx believed that these two classes had conflicting interests and that this class struggle would eventually lead to the overthrow of the bourgeoisie by the proletariat.
