Class struggles

From MarxWiki

One of the most central concepts to the development Marxist analysis has been that of class struggle. The Communist Manifesto revolves around the proposition that thus far all of human history has been a product of class struggle, of conflicts between those who have power within a given society and those who do not. Within contemporary post-Industrial Revolution society, Marx labelled these groups the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and noted that the former held power in controlling the means of production. Communism sought to eliminate the conflicts caused by the class struggle - and thus history as we have known it - by eliminating the divisions among classes and producing a classless society.
