Manifesto Of The Communist Party Analysis

The second concept crucial to understanding Marx is the Manifesto of the Communist Party. The Manifesto of The Communist Party, explains the struggle within the classes and the survival of a class. “Hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle” (Marx p120). Karl Marx states that all the changes that occur in society, and political institutions are caused and shaped by a societal struggle of groups with similar economic problems.Marx begins by analyzing the Bourgeoisie class and explaining its struggle against the feudal society. The feudal society was dominated by a monarch or ruler, then came the nobles, knights and at the bottom the working class or peasants. This class system was not working due to the classes ending up stacked,
meaning the highest class could not go down in class, but the bottom classes could rise and eventually a conflict of ideals and interest would occur. After the fall of the feudal society, the Bourgeoisie was able to take control and get away from a class division, but in reality, the Bourgeoisie only replaced the class struggle with its own problems. People did not like the Bourgeoisie because it is almost the same system as the feudal system but the difference is wages. In order for survival people need money and the Bourgeoisie pays wages to its workers. Thus this system provides the means to have people survive in the nation.
