Essentially, Rose and her brother are laborers, proletariat, and Rose’s mother and father are the bourgeoisie in this human harvesting scheme. Rose along with her brother have the competence to terminate this entire lucrative arrangement due to the fact that they are basically the wheels of this machine. Without Rose or her brother acquiring…

defense mechanisms used to cope with the struggle between the classes to maintain power. This class struggle, identified through the narrator’s forced grieving process and defense mechanism of repression, reveals the bourgeoisies’ control over the proletariat in the shelters. Through the resale possibilities of material possessions and the poor people in the shelters, commodification shows the idea that the bourgeoisie believes humans hold the same value as their material possessions.…

Freidrich Engles. The purpose of this document was to bring equality to all people, particularly the working class, or the Proletariat. The Communists want to do this by bringing the Proletariat to power, abolishing private property, and spreading their revolution to other countries.

At the time, the ruling class was the Bourgeois…

exploitation of the proletariat and their apparent inability to change their own situation. The fact that the working class feels this apparent hopelessness and undeniable drawing to labour can come from Williams’s ideologies of hegemony. Hegemony causes the proletariat to not riot against the bourgeoisie and change their “hopeless” situation because of the ideologies that tell them to continue doing as they do as that is just the way it is. The ideologies and constraints on the proletariat tell…

Everyone has qualities that are known to him when others recognize them. When two people meet, each other is quite certain of themselves but not the other. When the two consciences clash in a struggle of prestige each seeks to have other bow before him and admit its value without disputing. It is in this prestige struggle that we see the winner and the defeated one. The winner becomes the master and the defeated the slave. It is in such a situation that Hegel mentioned his famous assertion of…
