communist manifesto

This was my favorite reading we have had in this class yet. I liked how it explained how social classes were such a big deal everywhere in the world because I feel like it is still that way today. Im not saying that it is like that everywhere, or even as intense as it was in history but I feel like social class is still a huge part of life. For example in the US most of the wealthy people tend to have the same political views. I think there will always be levels of importance among people. In the reading there are two main groups explained. The bourgeoise are the upper class people with money and they dictate how there society runs. The Proletariat are the lower class people that just seem to live and go by the rules of the wealthy. The reading explained how communism came about and how it would work better. It was interesting to me because it made a lot of sense how it came to be this way and I enjoyed learning more about communism.
