Communist Manifesto

     Karl Marx wrote in the first chapter of his manifesto that the economy is being developing much to quickly. The bourgeoisie are the upper class of the time who as controlling all of the capitalism. Marx states that the proletarians, lower working class, can't compete with the rapidly expanding markets and believes the proletarians will revolt against the Bourgeoisie. I think in this period of time where industry is really picking up Marx has a rational concern.

     In chapter two, Marx explains that the communists and the proletariat class share the same interests. The primary objective of the communists and the revolutionary proletariat is to do away with private property. The only way to get away from capitalism is to be equal ensuring that the all people only receive what they need. In turn this means giving up anything private and cultural. This idea seems less rational to me, however at the time when people were desperate to provide to themselves and their family this was a pretty sure fire solution. 

     Chapter three discusses socialist and communist literature. Marx says that other socialists movements don't understand the significance of the proletarian struggle. They either looked to previous social organizations for solutions, they denied the current problems of their society, or they failed to see that violence of behalf of the proletarians is the only way to end the oppression.

   Marx raps up the manifesto in saying that the proletariat have nothing to lose but their chains and they will unity is a revolution of communism. Again as I said before, this makes more since for the time period and for the proletariat people who really did have nothing to lose.
