Marx believed that for the world to truly be equal, the world had to throw of the bougeoisie and allow the proletariat to have control. To Marx, if workers had control of factories, workers would work harder and more efficient knowing that each one of them had a say in their work lives. Remember for this economic system (Marxist communism is an economic system, NOT a political system) to work, it would only work in a highly industrialized society. Knowing this, it would be easy for Marx and Engels to say that communism would have never worked in the USSR because it was not industrialized. The same can be said for most of Eastern Europe during the time of the "Iron Curtain."

No question that this is the thesis of The Communist Manifest. This brief book is correct in showing the great power of economics. In some ways the masses are abused by the bourgeoisie. Man is forced to adapt to the needs of the borgeoisie; people are more fitted into the job, rather than the job being fitted to the person. Marx lamented "Modern industry has converted the little workshop of the partiarchal master into the great factory of the industrial capitalism."

"The Communist Manifesto" erred in stating what it wanted to happen, with what would happen. In short, class society, has never been able to overcome nationalism. As a conservative capitalist, I have no regrets about his.

As an aside Milton Friedman is probably the most capable defender of capitalism. The great failure of the Soviet Union most notabley demonstrated how governments are incapable of operating economies. This fact overshadows the abstract ideals of Marx that there is unfairness and manipulation of the masses within capitalism.
