The Economic And Philosophic Manuscripts Of 1844 By Karl Marx

The “Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844” is qualitative data put together by Karl Marx to back up his theories for economic problems. According to the Preface of the book, the Manuscripts include topics such as wages of labor, profit of capital, and rent of land. Marx doesn 't let the worker blend in with the crowd and be oblivious to what 's going on around them. Marx thought anyone can be apart of the change depending on how far they 're willing to go. Karl Marx argues that there are only two groups of people in the world, the "property owners and the propertyless workers". Although there are still two different groups, the worker eventually works himself into becoming equal to the object he makes. His worth is only material and …show more content…
The property workers and propertyless workers spoken of in the Manuscripts of 1844 were then given different names in the Manifesto, bourgeois and proletarian. The first line opens up the basis of how the Manifesto will be presented. Marx and Engels used history to prove the social class struggles and the division between the powerful and powerless. According to them, every time there was an ongoing battle between classes it would go on until a war or a different perspective on society was taken into consideration. This is definitely true, examples being the civil and women 's rights movements. Black people and women both went through years of oppression. Eventually they realized they needed a united front to gain the rights they deserved. After many years of protesting, both have gained the privileges that they rightfully deserve. According to Marx, Free Trade was exploiting because it made even respectable careers sound like an average worker. The bourgeois have established themselves so comfortably in their positions by expanding their reach into every possible institution they could be apart of. Although the workers have established their own importance, according to Marx the imbalance started from feudal societies era where there was a set boss and a set worker. Even today, most of America has an average wage and no matter what level of the company you 're in, there is always a boss you …show more content…
Marx said they are in constant battle with one another even though they 're all in the same group. This is done unconsciously by the proletariat because of the propaganda that the bourgeoise has put in their mind to do their dirty work. “Every victory obtained so obtained is a victory for the bourgeoise”, Marx pg 480. Any accomplishment by the efforts of the proletarian is only enjoyed by the bourgeoise because of the system they set up to have control over everything. However without the middle class workers, the bourgeoise would have nothing to control. The proletarians don 't see the amount of power they could have united. According to Marx, the only way for the proletariat to overpower the bourgeoise is through war. The violent revolt against the bourgeoise will show that they no longer have power to control or protect the oppressed class, deeming them unfit to rule. Marx said that each nation has to deal with their own bourgeoise class and then as a whole, the class will disappear when their subordinates no longer obey or need them. If you remove the competition amongst the workers, their advancement will lead to not needing the bourgeoise. Without continuous product development and workers the bourgeoise will no long have authority. I believe this to be true because without a worker to control, a boss as no power. The hierarchy of life doesn 't allow the lower class to surpass their
