First, there is an economic form. The <a href="/wiki/Proletariat" title="Proletariat">proletariat</a> struggle with the bourgeoisie through their laborer's organization in this form. Second, there is a political form. In this form, the proletariat has their party and, through democracy, they try to change the system. And the last, there is an ideological struggle. In this form, the proletariat try to adapt the old governing system to new social situations. There are other forms of struggle, too.

At first, people lived in small <a href="/wiki/Communist" class="mw-redirect" title="Communist">communist</a> societies. Then, they took property from the Earth for themselves and started to use slaves. They then had <a href="/wiki/Feudalism" title="Feudalism">feudalism</a>, which meant one person owned an entire area of land and used soldiers and workers to help them make money, and only gave their workers land, but they had some freedom that slaves didn't. Finally, in Karl Marx's time, people in some countries were becoming workers and bosses during the <a href="/wiki/Industrial_revolution" class="mw-redirect" title="Industrial revolution">industrial revolution</a>. The bosses owned the machines that the workers used to make things, but they didn't help using the machines. Instead, they made money by buying the time and energy of the workers to make things. Marx believed that the workers were not making as much money as they deserved because the boss would make money from the work they did without helping. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_future">The future</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Class_struggle&veaction=edit&section=4" title="Change section: The future" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Class_struggle&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section's source code: The future"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Marx believed that countries would <a href="/wiki/Anti-capitalism" title="Anti-capitalism">overthrow capitalism</a> and that workplaces would move toward socialism.

They never reached the point of capitalism, so their society was very corrupt. Many blame them for the bad name of communism.
