Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels predicted that the communist revolution would first occur in advanced capitalist societies where the working class was most developed, such as Western Europe. They believed that the working class would eventually rise up against the bourgeoisie to establish a socialist system.
That eventually the need to have a 'state' would be obsolete, and that the state would disappear while the classless society 'temporarily dictated by the proletariat' would remain.
middle class and working class
The answer to this specific question is Socialism, not Communism. According to Marx, after the revolution by the proletariat working class, the means of production would be seized by the workers and a government set up by the proletariat. This government would own all property. Eventually, Communism would evolve and there would be no government. Thus any situation where there even IS a government would not be Marx's vision of communism.
The working class would revolt against the upper class business owners
Karl Marx believed that all history was the history of class struggles and that the proletariat would overthrow the bourgeoisie.
Karl Marx, a German philosopher and economist, believed that the urban poor would eventually rise up against the factory owners in a revolution. Marx argued that the conflict between the working class (proletariat) and the capitalist class (bourgeoisie) would lead to the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a socialist society.
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.
He predicted that the proletariat would be triumphant.
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.
