Is Marx and Engels ACCURATE?
"The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones. Our epoch, the epoch of the bourgeoisie, possesses, however, this distinctive feature: it has simplified the class antagonisms. Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes, directly facing each other: Bourgeoisie and Proletariat"
Are there class struggles in the US? Are classes really hostile to one another? Can classes be distinguished? Can there be clear enough boundaries to determine classes from one another? How many classes are there? What makes someone middle class, for example, income, education, occupation , or what? Let's read the Communist Manifesto to determine its accuracy, ourselves . . .. . .
