Analytical Book Review Of The Communist Manifesto

A long historical process is the result of the affairs occurring at this time. At the discovery of the New World in the 16th and 17th centuries new methods of production and exchange were required in order to move forward. There was a demand for more efficient, larger scale production, and the medieval guild system was replaced by new methods of manufacturing. As industrialization occurred it was the Bourgeoisie (Capitalists) who were leaders in economic revolutions. As the Bourgeoisie gained economic power they also gained political power. In the middle of the 19th centu

At the time the Communist Manifesto was first published in 1848 revolutions were beginning to erupt in Europe. The Manifesto was meant as a statement of purpose for his newly formed Communist League. His purpose in writing it was to explain with great confidence to a confused world the reasons for an uproar, which was about to begin.

It is suspicious that Marx claims to be speaking on the worker’s behalf because the worker’s actual desires differ from what Marx says they should desire. The majority do not seek to overthrow their employers, and they really want things like job security, and improved labor conditions.

The Proletariat he states is, “a class of laborers who live only so long as they can find work, and who find work only so long as their labor increases capital” (15). In other words Marx believed the Proletariat to be the workforce of Bourgeoisie enterprise. They are thought of as commodities, which are also subject to changes of the market. And as with any other commodity, businesses want to lower their cost of production, in this case, the wage must be paid in order to make use of the worker’s labor power. Marx states this wage is the cost of bare subsistence for the Proletariat and his family. He believes the work of the Proletariat to be compared to drudgery as the division of labor and mechanization of the industry increases. As a result of these conditions the Proletariat eventually erupts into rebellion. As Marx concludes, “What the Bourgeoisie, therefore, produces, above all, is its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable” (21).
