Communist Manifesto

I thought that this reading was difficult at times and easy to understand. But I also learned something from it that I didn't know about Communism.

 The introduction was talking about how the European powers have formed together against the Communists idea.  Communist of many different nationalities have come together in London and is written in to be published in this Manifesto to make their views known.  It then discusses two classes called the Bourgeoisie and Proletariat.  Bourgeoisie were serfs in the Middle Ages.  The Manifesto shows how the bourgeoisie began the production and exchange. Markets kept growing and the demand for supplies kept increasing and the manufacturing could not keep up.  This was also called the Industrial Revolution.  The proletarians are able to find work as long as their labor increases capital.  The Manifesto then describes the struggle with the bourgeois.  It involved individual labors, groups of workers that would rebel against the bourgeois.  Marx explains how that the only class that rioted is the proletariat and that all the other classes fought against the bourgeois.
