Discussion on the Communist Manifesto
...tore away its "sentimental veil" and reduced the family relation into a mere money relation. On this topic there are some points i agree with, but then again don't. I believe that there was family sentimental value's among the family, but more between the mother's and the children, or within the children. I believe this because, while most of the men worked long hard hours, the women would work with the children out in like the farms but not as long, therefore having more time to be with each other. Then again, alot of families all had to work the same hours because they needed everyone to work so there was enough funding for food on the table, so there was no time to be a "sentimental" family. On the topic of the evil of the wealthy and the plight of the working class I do agree with. The working class had it so much harder then the wealthy in the factors of work ethics, hours they had to work, and what they had to do. The working class had jobs such as farming, agriculture farming, slavery, etc while the wealthy had jobs such as doctors and lawyers. Mentally doctors and lawyers may have had it tough, but physically, mentally, and emotionally I believe the working class had it way tougher. The wealthy was able to put food on the plate, and good food, with their income that they didn't even work as hard for and still recieved benefits while the working class had to work twice as hard for half the food. Karl Marx said that the degree to which revolution is "inevitable" when the class struggle is to the point where a group is willing to fight against the ruling class and has a large number of rebelling supporters. Basically to the point where the class who's unhappy realizes that there tired of being ruled over by another group and want their own way of life, or certain benefits the other group has that they don't which i believe is totally right. When has a revolution occured in history? When it got to the point where a large group of members within a society was fed up with the way of life and wanted better things/other things that the "higher" group had that they didn't. Also if the way of life sucked for a certain group did people form, rebel, and revolutionize. It's happened ocuntless times throughout history, even in factories during the Industrial Revolution, when workers would form unions against a company owner, company owners, etc. He state's that workers in general are revolutionary and that they are in a series of revolutions in the modes of "production" and "exchange." Back then and today I still believe that workers of the world are in a revolution in the modes of "production" and "exchange" because, society is still manufacturing goods to sell, trade, and buy amongst ourselves and foreign countries. It is Marx's opinion that a revolution must be "bloody/tumultuous" in order to overthrow its "boureoisie and lay the foundation for the "sway" of the proletariat, also to assume certain conditions in order to continue atleast a "slavish existence." I also agree with Marx here in that in order to have your demands met, or considered( demands that are reasonable and fair) people must make a stand that won't be noticed. It must be something everyone is able to witness or go through, in order for anything to revolutinize because it signifies not a change in progress, but change necessary to create a society where everyone's utility is met. Marx's ideals would appeal to those who live either in the lower class of society or a working class. Those who are unhappy with their status in life and wish for a change in income, etc. These idea's would enlighten those who seek out to eliminate their "bourgeoisie" so their is no such thing as class, but rather, one...
