Abstract
Karl Marx identified class struggle as the primary force driving historical progress, a key theme in The Communist Manifesto. He contended that society is split into opposed classes based on their relationship to the means of production: the bourgeoisie (owners of capital and production control) and the proletariat (labor sellers). Marx argued that this conflict arises from labor exploitation, as the bourgeoisie derives surplus value from workers, leading to alienation and inequality. He foresaw this struggle intensifying, ultimately resulting in a revolutionary overthrow of the bourgeoisie and the establishment of a classless, communist society. For Marx, understanding class struggle is crucial to explaining historical change and power relations.
