Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles wrote a Manifesto that they thought would solve societies problems of inequality between the proletariat and bourgeoisie classes. They wanted to give more to the working class by taking private land from the factory owners. their plan had many steps that needed to be taken in order to achieve this goal; some included seizing private property, nationalizing factories and agricultural production, and regulating production throughout the market. The one beneficial aspect that the communist ideology possessed was to eradicate child labor in every form. The Communist Manifesto begins by explaining what society’s problem is, then it continues to argue who is to blame for the social injustice, and provides a new never before attempted idea to reform society to benefit the masses and not a single class; it finally provides information on the political parties that it supports in different states and finishes by provided one last uplifting quote to motivate people to join the communist revolution. The other paper we had to read was a historical background for the manifesto, which explains what was going on in society during this era, who they were reaching out to, and why they thought this revolution would inevitably come. One problem that I noticed in the Manifesto was where it mentioned German Philosophers and their ideas/ philosophies; but never names any philosopher specifically. In the city, many people were herded into factories to work long hour days to make minimal wages just to scrape by, but never enough to actually make enough to prosper. These people were like that of those in Chicago when it was first being developed.  Like ZHEDRICK said,”Chicago became a center for cultural integration between different societal groups that would otherwise not interact”. These different societal groups are the people that Marx had hoped to convert to Communism and potentially start the revolution.
