section Summary
 
 
To discuss this topic fully, one must first examine the ideas behind Marx’s “class struggle.” For Marx, class struggle is the social and economic conflict between the proletariat and the bourgeois classes. This conflict is constant and inevitable in a society in which one class—the ruling class—controls the means of production. In turn the lower class, or the laboring class, can merely sell its labor to the ruling class in order to survive. In this way, the laboring class is in a constant struggle.
