According to Marx, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat are distinct and opposed social classes produced by the world capitalist economy. The bourgeoisie are the owners of the means of production and the capitalist class who exploit the labor of the proletariat, who are the working class that sell their labor to survive. Marx argued that this class struggle would ultimately lead to a communist revolution, where the proletariat would overthrow the bourgeoisie and establish a classless society.
