How is the proletariat expanded, what is the essential condition for the existence of the bourgeoisie class and how does this spell its downfall?
A. The proletariat grows from the development and production of methods of resource extraction, which provide well paid jobs and forms of social security, these jobs allow the bourgeoisie to expand, but these forms of subsistence begin to overtake the bourgeosie forms of living, and they are pulled into them.
B. The proletariat grows through the production of knowledge centers (printing press etc) within the cities and urban spaces whereby an understanding of their essential selves is built throgh overtures to the old ways (religion, mysticisim) and new social norms - the middle classes are attracted to this and thus ally with the proletariat. These old norms are the bourgeoisie's notions of social ordering which are in contradiction with the new social ways of the aforementioned knowledge centers and thus contradictions emerge, resulting in the downfall of bourgeoisie.
C. The proletariat expands through the lower strata of the middle class sinking into them because their capital does not compete with modern industry and they are swamped by the overwhelming skill and might of large capitalists. The bourgeoisie creates huge cities where its factories are, urbanizing the growing proletariat who are drawn to it through the concentration of property in their (the bourgeosie) hands. The bourgeoisies position of domination within this system rests upon wage-labour whereby workers compete with each other for wages. However the expansion of industry brings more and more workers together, and the suppression of wages in pursuit of the expansion of capital means that workers form a revolutionary consciousness.
D. The proletariat expands through direct confrontation with the police and military arm of the state, through revolutioinary violence and direct confontation, the police state melds into the proletariat, expanding its ranks. This military-proletariat compact enables the bourgeoisie to expand its power for a short time, but the essential contradictions in interests results in the revolutionary overthrow of the state.
