Expert Solution
Step 1

 

According to Mark's society was divided into two parts are "Haves and Haves Not" in an earlier capitalist society where the proletarians are the workers who don't have high status, privilege, and control in society and on the other hand the bourgeoisie who have to acquire the whole high status, privilege, and control over the economy. Karl Marx's class struggle between the “haves” and “have nots”. The haves controls the means of production. The have-nots who work themselves as hard as difficult only for low wages Have gotten all the benefits.

The bourgeoisie has full control in capitalist society. The bourgeoisie, who control the "Economy and its major functions like

  • who owns the means of production,
  • who receive the profits of their workers' labor,
  • who have no emotional attachment of produce and means of production(real production),
  • wealth creation is the prime motivation of their life at any cost.

The proletarians have no control over capitalist society. They contribute much more to the economy but nothing got in their hands.

  • who don't have any control over the means of production,
  • who receive no profits of their work apart from doing hard work like till death,
  • who have lots of emotional attachment of produce and means of production(real production) because produce created by them,
  • wealth creation is not their prime motivation.
