This section of reading focuses on the bourgeois and the proletarians, otherwise known as the oppressor and the oppressed. The reading itself is somewhat difficult for me to comprehend, but from my understanding it seems that the bourgeois class brought about the industrial revolution. The proletarians seem to be the working class that were dependent on the wages given to them by the bourgeois as they competed with the machinery constantly being upgraded by the bourgeois. This of course is asking for a disaster to strike, as the oppressed can only stay oppressed for so long.
There may always be a case of people being oppressors and people being oppressed, but with that comes the rise of the oppressed as they fight for their rights. I am curious to see what a society with neither would look like, as even now in America we have the rich being the ones in control, for the most part at least.
