Document Summary
Communism is justified seemed to be the message of karl marx throughout his communist manifesto and he even provides his reasoning and examples to prove his point. And that is where the goals of the proletariats and the communists matched up. Both groups wanted to consolidate the proletariats into a class and overthrow the bourgeois and allow the proletariats to gain political power. The communists wanted to further this revolution or overthrow of dominant power by taking control over bourgeois property because their property represented in a form the exploitation of the proletariats. (marx, 78). This is true because the workers do not gain anything from working and the products that they produce ultimately represent something that had exploited them. Communism is further validated by marx"s defense of communism against the claims that communism does ill to society. Communism is good for society because it prevents the overly rich and powerful from taking advantage of the poorer population.
