The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx: was being overthrown, these attempts necessarily failed, owing to
the then undeveloped state of the proletariat, as well as to the
absence of the economic conditions for its emancipation,
conditions that had yet to be produced, and could be produced by
the impending bourgeois epoch alone. The revolutionary
literature
that accompanied these first movements of the proletariat had
necessarily a reactionary character. It inculcated universal
asceticism and social levelling in its crudest form.
The Socialist and Communist systems properly so called, those of
Saint-Simon, Fourier, Owen and others, spring into existence in
The Communist Manifesto |
