Any slave, or any person who feels like a slave in order to survive, would desire to be freed from the chains of servitude. Throughout history you will find a "class" of people, such as pharaohs, kings, queens, clergy, and then those who were not born into "royalty" or worked for them . They work and are heavily taxed, forced into servitude or slavery, and then their children are born into this life. Karl Marx addresses those who were in his present and even those who will read his writings in the future and wants them to realize that slavery is not only in the past, but also always in the present . Marx tried desperately to promote and persuade others that if the lower class never revolts, they will continue to work earning next to nothing, while making those above them prosper. Although his argument that these are different classes in society and they reap bountifully from the labor of the lower class is strong, there are some errors in his argument about the revolt of the lower class and how to live there. In reality, they will move from one form of slavery to another. Marx speaks of a life without work for someone who gets much more from a group of workers who are part of a lower class party. However, there is more to do. What Marx promotes is the takeover of all factories or industrial enterprises. A literal revolution of the lower class, so that instead of business owners reaping all the benefits of the "proletariat" who work while earning little, they must take full control of the production companies and share everything equally among them. It sounds good to the ear that there can no longer be struggles for the little people who do all the work, enriching someone else, but Marx... middle of paper ... axes. This liberation that the people would obtain by taking control through revolt is only superficial, because you are still subject to another form of slavery. It all depends on the collective, or the State. No more self and individualism. Marx's strong appeal to the emotions helps draw the reader in emotionally. It informs and reminds the reader of the struggles of the modern day slave and the past slave, which constitutes a historical fact. His reasoning for revolting is not simply “…the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie lays the foundation for the rule of the proletariat.” (Marx). He wants to get rid of private property and individualism. It’s all about the collective/the state. Without individualism, you are simply a slave to the wants and desires of someone or something else. Works Cited Marx, Karl. “Bourgeois and proletariats”. The classic library. 2001. Internet.
