Similarities Between Marx And Engel's Communist Manifesto

Essay on Marx and Engel’s Communist Manifesto
Throughout Marx and Engle’s Communist Manifesto it is clear that the two display a disposition against the Bourgeoisie, but why is this? From the very first page it is clear that Marx has a strong belief in the hierarchical arrangements of the classes as he opens the manifesto with “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles” this sentence in itself is a powerful statement. Marx believed that, Capitalism, which was not a good thing (in his eyes) was fueled by the Bourgeoisie class. That one day this “bourgeoisie dictatorship” would one day, be overthrown by a conflict between this and the Proletariat class. He talks about how the bourgeois has changed society,
but not done away with the class antagonisms.
They have rather just changed these into new and differing more general classes, these of course being the proletariat (working class) and the bourgeoisie (upper class). At one point in the manifesto Marx talks about how the Proletarians are “a class of laborers, who live only so long as they find work, and who find work only so long as their labor increases capital.” (pg. 15). He believes that the bourgeois class takes these proletarians as a commodity, only needing them so long as they could increase their own wealth. This does not need any analyzing to see that it is a wrongful view, they are still people none the less, and when a worker only lives half as long as the factory owner, that is not just. I think one moment that I believe describes in whole how the authors felt about the bourgeoisie is stated on the last page, “Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have the world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!”(pg. 44). In this he concludes his entire manifesto basically stating how much the bourgeoisie has stomped on the hands of the proletarians, stating
that they have nothing to lose but their chains. This argues the authors beliefs in how oppressed the working class is that they have nothing left to lose but their own chains (hypothetical chains of course). Although Marx and Engles, throughout this manifesto describe how they dislike this bourgeois class and while most of this is negative, I believe there is one example that truly stood out to me about how the bourgeoisie may not be entirely bad. Even if the example is twisted in its own sense of the term beneficial, the authors state “The Bourgoisie itself, therefore, supplies the proletariat with its own elements of political and general education, in other words, it furnishes the proletariat with weapons for fighting the bourgeoisie.” (pg. 19). As is stated here the author is, even if in a twisted way, showing some benefits of the bourgeoisie. That since they control many of the local governments inadvertently or directly, they thusly provide the education for the proletariat class to be able to have the skills and knowledge they need to form a rebellion against the bourgeoisie class.

In my personal opinion I believe that Marx would get a big kick out of it if he could see the faces of the upper/ruling classes when the very same lower/working class people came to revolt against them, Marx just seems like that kind of guy to me from reading his manifesto.
