I. Marxist View of History: All societies have devolved into class struggle.
 * Aristocrats, Landowners and Guilds vs. Farmers/Laborers → Manufacturers vs. Workers
 * Manufacturers = Bourgeoisie (Oppressor) vs. Workers = Proletariat (Oppressed)
 * With bourgeois capital expansion, the Proletariat will expand in population.
 * Marx predicted that as capitalist Bourgeoisie fortunes rose, the Proletariat condiion would decline.
 * This would set up the Bourgeoisie downfall via a Proletarian revolution.

II. Communist Political Party
 * Communist objective: Abolition of private property and capitalism
 * Private property and capitalism keeps workers enslaved.
 * Bourgeois property or capital depends on unequal distribution.
 * To end exploitation, workers must abolish capitalism.
 * The Communist party seeks to unite workers under this cause and give them a political voice to organize.
