lutte des classes

Lutte des classes, or class struggle, is a concept from social and economic theory that describes the ongoing conflict between different social classes, primarily the working class (proletariat) and the owners of resources and production (bourgeoisie). It suggests that societal progress occurs through disputes over wealth, power, and resources, leading to changes in social structures. This struggle highlights inequalities created by capitalism, where the interests of the wealthy and laborers are often in opposition. Understanding this helps explain issues like income disparity, workers’ rights, and social change movements.
