THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO - AN UNDERSTANDING1The Communist Manifesto is one of the most famous political pamphlets by the Germanphilosophers Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx. The pamphlet was commissioned in the presenceof the Communist League and had primarily been published in London in the year 1848 duringthe initial breakouts of the infamous revolutions that took place in the same year. TheCommunist Manifesto aims to present to the readers the analytical approaches towards the classstruggles that were evident in the then political scenario, the conflicts that arise from capitalismas well as the capitalist mode of production. The pamphlet, however does not deal with thepredictions of the potential future forms of communism. The following essay deals with theattitude of the proletariat at the better earning possibilities of the various members of thebourgeois class of the society.The Communist Manifesto opines that the society might have to face some changes due tothe fact that the proletariat section of the section might face some issues due to the fact that theearning of the bourgeois section of the society tend have a better financial footing than theformer. The bourgeois section of the society generally refers to that capitalist class of the society.This section of the society is generally known as the determiners of the production and thevarious markets that might serve to connect to the target customers in the given society.
