What is the relationship between proletariat and bourgeoisie According to socialism?

How did Karl Marx's theories try to eliminate social classes?

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.

Why did unions become associated with socialism and communism?

Unions were formed to advance the interests of the common workers against those of the owners of the companies in which they worked. This was pure Marxian theory where the workers (proletariat) were in constant class struggle with the owners of the companies (bourgeoisie).

What philosopher's ideas are most closely associated with the term dictatorship of the proletariat?

Karl Marx coined the term "dictatorship of the proletariat" Ironically, it was not to be a dictatorship at all, but a democratic government. Marx called it the "dictatorship of the proletariat," but it would be a democratic government once the proletariat of workers revolted against the bourgeoisie and took over the means of production. Some form of government would still be necessary after the revolution. The "dictatorship" aspect meant that participation in it would be restricted to proletarians to the exclusion of the bourgeoisie. The main purposes would be to maintain order, but more importantly it would be to ensure the transition from capitalism to socialism by stamping out all vestiges of capitalism so that it would never return.

Why wouldn't a true marxist revolution work in russia?

A true Marxian revolution would not work in Russia because the country's economy was mostly agrarian rather than industrial. This meant that capitalism had not yet created the conflicting social classes of bourgeoisie and proletariat. Without these conflicting classes there could be no revolution of the proletariat. Marx did not believe in Utopia. He did not believe that a political group, be they Marxists, Socialists, Bolsheviks or Communists, could take over a country and impose socialism and communism upon it. The evolution from capitalism to socialism to communism was an historical process not a political one. Capitalism had to fully run its course, separate society into the two classes and set the stage for the proletariat to overthrow the bourgeoisie. Industrialized capitalism was an absolute must because only wide scale industrialization would create the homogeneous working class that would become the proletariat. An agrarian economy would not create those two classes and Russia was at that time an agrarian economy.

Why does Lenin consider his dictatorship of the proletariat to be preferable?

Lenin's "dictatorship of the proletariat" was never like Karl Marx's version. Lenin's dictatorship was preferable to him because he felt that the "proletariat" of Russia were not sufficiently aware of their class status as proletariat. He felt they needed a strong government run by a small group of people (the Bolsheviks/Communists) who would prevent them from trying to reverse the revolutionary gains of the revolution. If "his" version of the dictatorship of the proletariat were to be turned over to the workers of Russia in general as Marx had wanted, the people might have wanted a return to capitalism and an overthrow of socialism.
