Question One:
“Die Bourgeoisie hat in der Geschichte eine höchst revolutionäre Rolle gespielt.”
“The bourgeoisie, historically, has played a most revolutionary part.”
Marx and Engels, Manifest, 464; Communist Manifesto, 222.
With which historical revolution do Marx and Engels associate the
bourgeoisie, and what is the historical significance of the bourgeoisie
for the overall theory of history presented in the Manifesto?
Question Two:
“Mit der Entwicklung der großen Industrie wird also unter den Füßen der
Bourgeoisie die Grundlage selbst hinweggezogen, worauf sie produziert
und die Produkte sich aneignet. Sie produziert vor allem ihren eigenen
Tötengräber. Ihr Untergang und der Sieg des Proletariats sind gleich
unvermeidlich.”
“The development of Modern Industry, therefore, cuts from under its feet
the very foundation on which the bourgeoisie produces and appropriates
products. What the bourgeoisie, therefore, produces, above all, is its
own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are
equally inevitable.”
Marx and Engels, Manifest, 474; Communist Manifesto, 233.
Why do Marx and Engels think that the “victory of the proletariat” is
inevitable andwhat role do they think modern industry and technology
will play in this victory?
Question Three:
Marx and Engels claim that the epoch of the bourgeoisie has “simplified”
(vereinfacht) class antagonisms and has produced the two great classes
of bourgeoisie and proletariat (Manifest, 463; Manifesto, 220). On what
basis do they make this claim, and do you think that these two great
classes can still be identified in present day British society?
