I had a very difficult time understanding this reading although I think I have read parts of it before in High School. The main idea is that Society is split into the Bourgeoisie, capitalist and the Proletariat, workers where The Bourgeoisie control the modes of production and property and the Proletariat try to overthrow the bourgeoisie supremacy. I do not have a great understanding of communism but this idea makes a lot of sense to me that if you have one group in society has all the control then the group with less power will try to overthrow them in attempt to make things fair and equal.
