This viewpoint is a key tenet of Marxist ideology, which argues for the working class (proletariat) to overthrow the capitalist system controlled by the bourgeoisie. According to Marx, this revolution would lead to a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively. However, whether or not this overthrow is necessary or achievable is a subject of ongoing debate and interpretation.

What was the bourgeois revolution?

Bourgeois Revolution is a term used to describe the process by which the economy of Europe went from a feudal system to a business-based system. The main beneficiaries of this change were a new capitalist class of people, which became ascendant economically and politically, and the middle classes that became central to the functioning of this system (these latter groups of professionals expanded and grew wealthier than they could have under the previous system). Socialist theory holds that the bourgeois revolution was positive and necessary to progress but that it should be finite, not an end in itself. The system established by the bourgeois revolution should, according to this view, pass over into socialism and eventually full communism. The term "bourgeois revolution" does not seem to be favored outside of socialist theory, and (in the United States, at least) is not generally used to describe the current political and economic milieu, except by socialists.

How were the mensheviks different from the bolshevicks?

The main difference between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks is the fact that the Mensheviks were more "Orthodox" Marxists, meaning that they believed in a slow, gradual transition from Capitalism into Communism. The Mensheviks believed that before there should be a Proletariat revolution, there must be a Bourgeois revolution, where Capitalism is the main socioeconomic system. Later, there would be a workers' revolution, which would usher in Socialism, and slowly the Socialist government would loosen its control over the means of production and the state would wither away into a Communist system. The Bolsheviks believed basically the same thing, but wanted to move through the Capitalist phase as quickly as possible, arriving at a Socialist state as soon as they could.
