by Paola Arce, Diana Garca, Luis Manuel Peralta, Jos Luis Vzquez

The term bourgeois is a French word that throughout the years it represent from
middle to upper class in social-economics distinctions. This bourgeois have been known
since the epochs of the Middle ages. The bourgeois are identified as capitalists, in
others words as the persons who are wealthy and control it. This bourgeois throughout
the centuries are been judged by many reasons for cruelty, fraud, discrimination, but
there is a special reclamation in history that explained and really promote the practice of
a socialist-communist government or society. The persons responsible of this
accusations were written in the Communist Manifesto a book of Karl Marx and
Frederick Engels released in 1848. This first one was the most recognized and attacker
to the bourgeois and the capitalists.

The Marxs theory is based in the class struggle throughout the years. He remarked that
the bourgeois existed through many years. That it have always have been a king and a
slave, and oppressor and oppressed, in others words he meant that there has been
always to different poles the rich and wealthy ones who have more rights and the poor
and disgraceful that have to work harder and more to earn less than a small part that he
wealthy have. Eventually Marx said that humanity has been dividing in two major groups
the first one being the bourgeois meaning the capitalists and the other group is the
proletarians representing all the population affected by the acts of the bourgeois.

As mentioned earlier the bourgeois have to record to develop during the Middle Ages
with the events of the discoverment of America and the new negotiations with the
Middle East and Asian countries, the feudal society develop. Marx mention that this
feudal society started with the industrialization movement, this meant that normal
population wanted more products and faster, so the competition of commerce started
which the multimillionaire monopolized many products. This continue for many years
rich man controlling communications and transportations and to this idea a named was
given of capitalism that means that the person with more resources can managed them
in which ever way that they want.

In Marx theory the bourgeois have a need of money and power as he said the
bourgeois have to move from to place to place, location to location to find new lands to
make business, and by making business he referred to take more money from the
proletarians as he like to call the socialists. Marx theory also remarked that as the
bourgeois advance in their gain power the political advance benefit this capitalists. As
previous records the governments at the time gave some background of absolute
monarchy meaning that one person have total control of decision.The bourgeoisie have
their own persons who work in a specific labor and also they reduced to contact with
family except of the communication of family economy.

Bourgeois have control of cities; they reduced the rural life so they have more
employees. Also at creating these huge cities it make dependent of them the economy
of the country. But with ambition danger comes, he remarked that the bourgeois
compete so much between them that it is a constant fight but with one treat the
revolution of workers so they are always afraid of this constant threat. He also referred
that the bourgeois uses fear to maintain their power.

The communist manifesto was written nearly two centuries and bourgeois exist,
actually capitalism is the most used type of government economic used now a days, but
that dont takes the impact that Marx and Engels make by their book was incredible at a
time. Basically his principles are used mostly in the Industrial Revolution when the
workers fight for their rights, and many governments also applied socialists concepts.
Marx se bourgeois as corrupt and powerful persons but that didn't stop him of writing
this book that have the goal to make the know the principles of communist-socialist
movement and the bad idea of capitalism. This idea was kept in one of the biggest
country today Russia because the Russian revolution was successful.
