问答题Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf,guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed stood in constant opposition to one another,carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary re-constitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.(1)In the earlier epochs of history, we find almosteverywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various, orders, a manifold gradation of social rank. In ancient Rome we have patricians, knights, plebeians,slaves; in the Middle Ages, feudal lords, vassals, guild-masters, journeymen, apprentices, serfs; in almost all of these classes, again, subordinate gradations.(2)The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with clash antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones. Our epoch, the epoch of the bourgeoisie,possesses, however, this distinctive feature: it has simplified the class antagonisms: Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps,into two great classes, directly facing each other: Bourgeoisie and Proletariat.(3)From the serfs of the Middle Ages sprang the chartered burghers of the earliest towns. From these burgesses the first elements of the bourgeoisie were developed.(4)The discovery of America, the rounding of the Cape, opened up fresh ground for the rising bourgeoisie. The East-Indian and Chinese markets, the colonization of America,trade with the colonies, the increase in the means of exchange and in commodities generally, gave to commerce,to navigation, to industry, an impulse never before known,and thereby, to the revolutionary element in the tottering feudal society, a rapid development.(5)The feudal system of industry, under which industrial production was monopolize by closed guilds, now no longer sufficed for the growing wants of the new markets. The manufacturing system took its place. The guild-masters were pushed on one side by the manufacturing middle class; division of labor between the different corporate guilds vanished in the face of division of labor in each single workshop.(6)Meantime the markets kept ever Rowing, the demand ever rising. Even manufacture no longer sufficed. Thereupon, steam and machinery revolutionized industrial production.The place of manufacture was taken by the giant, Modern Industry, the place of the industrial middle class, byindustrial millionaires, the leaders of whole industrial armies, the modem bourgeois.
