The essential components of Marxism include the belief in a class struggle between the bourgeoisie (the wealthy capitalist class) and the proletariat (the working class), the idea of historical materialism where social structures are determined by economic forces, and the goal of achieving a classless society through revolution and the establishment of a socialist state.
Marxism created the term "Bourgeoisie" that we know today, or rather, Marxism created the connotations of the term.So, the definition of "Bourgeoisie" would be Marxist theory based on factual events during the rise of Capitalism. So, no Marx did not really have "assumptions".Also, keep in mind that Marxism and Marx are two different things, although, people often view them as interchangeable. After Marx passed away, other theorists redefined elements of Marxism. Also, it is difficult to determine Marx's exact opinion, when many of his works were co-written with his colleagues. Even the Communist Manifesto was co-written with Friedrich Engles.

Karl Marx doesn't believe in Democracy. He believes in Marxism, Socialism, Communism, and the destruction of Capitalism. Capitalism is what has kept America the best place to live in the world.
The four basic ideas of Marxism are historical materialism, the theory of surplus value, dialectical materialism, and the prediction of the eventual overthrow of capitalism by the working class. The idea of promoting economic competition is not a basic idea of Marxism; rather, Marxism critiques capitalism for promoting competition at the expense of the working class.
Karl Marx believed that all history was the history of class struggles and that the proletariat would overthrow the bourgeoisie.
The Bourgeoisie are the ruling class, they own all the means of production within a country. They control the state, religion and media to further their own goals and maintain the proletariat as the working clas to serve them.
Classical Marxism is a socio-economic and political theory developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the 19th century, which critiques capitalism and advocates for a classless society. It emphasizes the role of class struggle, where the proletariat (working class) seeks to overthrow the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) to establish a socialist state. Central to this theory is the idea of historical materialism, which posits that economic structures shape societal development and consciousness. Ultimately, classical Marxism envisions a transition from capitalism to socialism and eventually to communism, where the means of production are collectively owned.
