Marx's communist ideals were born from the realization that the cycle of revolutions brought about by class struggles throughout history take society nowhere . Society as a whole was increasingly divided into two large hostile camps, into two large classes which confronted each other directly: the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. According to Marx, for society to progress, a mass proletarian revolution would have to take place. The bourgeois, who were employers and owners of the means of production, constituted the majority of modern capitalists. These are the individuals who controlled capitalist society by exploiting the labor provided by the proletariats. For example, the bourgeoisie makes property a right because it is they who own the property. However, without their labor force behind them, the bourgeois class would collapse. To achieve a revolution, workers (proletariats) should rise up against the bourgeoisie and take back the factors of production. Marx believed that after the inevitable revolution of the proletariat against the oppressive force of the bourgeoisie, a communist form of government would be established. Under the oppression of the bourgeoisie, the proletariats, who made up the majority of the masses, had only one resource: their labor. . However, the bourgeoisie could not continue to exist without the instruments of production. Since the ordinary worker lived only as long as he could find work, and could only work as long as his labor increased capital, he continued to be oppressed by the bourgeoisie, who controlled capitalist society by exploiting the labor provided by the proletariats. People sell their labor power to a buyer, not to satisfy the middle of paper...... his ideals and theories were influenced by popular philosophical circles present throughout Europe. Saint Simon was a French nobleman whose vision of socialism featured a government run by scientists. Proudon was another radical thinker who influenced Marx. Proudon’s book, “What is Property?” » focuses on the privatization of property and comes to the conclusion that the factors of production are theft. When Marx moved to France, he was introduced to many different socialist views which inspired his argument known as historical materialism. This argument asserted that the world is changed not by ideas but by actual, physical, material activities and practices and can be linked to its theme of the injustice of exploitation. This is why, in the Manifesto, he denounces child labor and violations of the proletarian family by the bourgeoisie..
