Waistline, whose almost always wrong: In other words capitalism does not create the modern working class or the industrial proletariat. The revolution in the means of production creates the industrial proletariat as it evolves from heavy manufacture within the framework of political feudalism. Marx and Engels chart the emergence of the modern proletariat of their time in the Communist Manifesto and in Engels "Anti Durhing" and Socialism: Utopia and Scientific.

It is the bourgeois revolution in the property relations that triggers constant revolutions in the instruments of production. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
