Then the issue of overpopulation is introduced and the need for control becomes even greater. With a greater population, greater issues can result, providing a greater need even for a stable and steady economy as well as content social classes. The rising of power among the bourgeois class has cleared a spot for a lower class: the proletariat. .
Proletarians have gained importance within the government due to their robotic like existence. The proletariat consists of the the low working class. They have no means of production by themselves but rather rely on selling their labor in basic tasks. They were often given the most disgusting jobs, which would also not earn them very much money. For the proletariat of the 19th century, it was very hard to not have any place to make a decent living. Marx then introduces the concept of communism in respect to the proletariat. The proletariat are being enslaved by the bourgeois class, suppressing them down further. But communism could make a solution. In his manifesto, Marx states that if "differences of age and sex have no longer any distinctive social validity for the working class [then] all are instruments of labor, more or less expensive to use, according to their age and sex." By equalizing the people, it is very difficult to develop that class struggle again. This would prevent classes from uprising, whereas previously Trade Unions against the bourgeois would be formed, such as the Amsterdam Trade-Union International. Along with the equalization of classes comes a destined victory. However, Marx believes that "every victory obtained is a victory for the bourgeois." Yes the immediate victory may have gone to the bourgeois, however through the development of industry, the proletariat increased in number as well as in power, being concentrated in greater masses and growing in strength. Suddenly the victory from the bourgeois becomes power for the proletariat.
