I am having a difficult time understanding one line from "The Class Struggles in France" :
"Such a revolution is only possible in the periods when both these factors, the modern productive forces and the bourgeois productive forms, come into collision with one another."
My sticking point lies in the phrase "bourgeois productive forms" which, of course, Marx doesn't care to define. A classmate suggested that he was referring to bourgeois political institutions (with modern productive forces being bourgeois economic institutions), but I am really unsure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
