Proletariat and Bourgeoisie

In Marxism, the "proletariat" refers to the working class people who sell their labor for wages, often in factories or services. They typically do not own the means of production, like factories or land. The "bourgeoisie," on the other hand, is the capitalist class that owns these means of production and profits from the labor of the proletariat. This relationship often leads to social and economic inequalities, as the interests of these two groups conflict. Marx advocated for the proletariat to rise against the bourgeoisie to create a more equitable society.
