FAQ About Karl Marx
How did Marx define proletariat and bourgeoisie?
In Marxist theory, the proletariat refers to the working class, those who do not own the means of production and must sell their labor to survive. The bourgeoisie, on the other hand, are the capitalists, the class that owns the means of production and profits from the labor of the proletariat. The conflict between these two classes is central to Marx's analysis of capitalist societies.
