Communist Manifesto Part 1

Chapter one of the Communist Manifesto was informing the reader about the social differences between the bourgeoisie and the proletarians. The bourgeoisie didn't live what many people would call an "extravagant" life, but they definitely lived more comfortably than the proletarians. The bourgeoisie basically ran this society. They looked down on the proletarians and did not care to make their lives any better as long as their own lives were how they wanted them to be. What interests me is that even though the bourgeoisie didn't make the "most money in the world," they acted like they did. The proletarians always worked hard for what they owned and earned every bit of it, and then there is the bourgeoisie that takes advantage of the working class, inconsiderate of the hard work they've done, simply for their own benefit. The easiest way for me to describe how different these two social classes lived is to just describe it as servantry. As terrible as the bourgeoisie sounds, they weren't the first of their kind. They were hardly the first social class group that took advantage of the lower classes. Like the First, Second, and Third Estate, the First and Second lived highly and unnecessarily comfortable while the Third had to work their hearts out everyday to give themselves and their family a sustainable life. But between the bourgeoisie and the proletarians, the bourgeoisie took major advantage of the proletarians because they viewed themselves as superior just because they had more money. In my opinion, I believe that bourgeoisie should be viewed as inferior to the proletarians because the proletarians obtain skills and have goals very unlike the bourgeoisie. The proletarians had goals to make their lives better and to give their families food and shelter and a life that they can live without suffering, and the bourgeoisie just lives a life where they can take money from people that worked hard for it because they feel like they can. But after every period of time where one social class oppresses another one, there will come a revolution where it will not be accepted anymore and it will be opposed by everyone that lives in the society to the point where they cannot belittle the lower social classes just because they feel like they have the power to do so because they have more money and resources.
