            Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto was a response to the.
             new society created by the Industrial Revolution. This.
             new society was split into two main classes, that of.
             the rich bourgeoisie or upper class and the lower,.
             working class people, known as the proletariats. These.
             two classes were at odds with each other because as.
             the bourgeoisie became more wealthy and powerful, the.
             proletariats became poorer and powerless. Karl Marx.
