Communism Marx’s Communist Manifesto delineates the clear separation of two classes the proletariat and the bourgeois. Then there are all those deemed irrelevant in this ideology. The modern working class, or modern laborers are the main body of the proletariat. The members of this group are the masses and to them should go the power. He makes many allusions to the bourgeois class as having by their setting up of mass industry having created the very class, which will overthrow them from power. The bourgeois class is the industrial elitist and capitalist that has pushed production and industry to create such things in mass quantity that the small craftsman can no longer compete. The Proletariat gains power through the masses of them uniting. They form workers unions and from the unity between the unions they gain more voices. Marx specifically refers to the 10 Hour Bill being passed in England because of the workers unions uniting. He likens the working class in industry like an army. The privates or the predominant working class would be the bulk of the army while supervisors and such would be the commanders. He says the very essence of the nature of the working class was revolutionary. The other classes could not be because they were disjointed and fractured. The other classes were essentially fragments of the middle class and split ruling class. Some of the ruling class may recognize the coming change of power and join the proletariat others will not and will be ousted with the inevitable revolution. The fragmented middle class however are completely set aside as near irrelevant as they are splintered in their own self interest and therefore have no unity. Members of the fragmented middle class were the lower middle class, small manufacturer, shopkeeper, artisan, and the peasant.
