Marx/Engels- The Communist Manifesto

Marx and Engels say that class stuggles have exsited through out all time periods. Around 1848, the Bourgeoise and Proletariat were the two classes that faced each other. The Bourgeoise were the middle working class that only cared about making money. This led to the disintegration of the individual because everyone is just working in the factories, not really understanding their value. Sex, race and age are no longer issues for the Bourgeoise sole goal is production. people are dehuminized as just one piece in the machine, a piece that could easily be replaced by another. Marx and Engels argue that this way of thinking will lead to the Bourgeoise class to fall to the Proletariats.

Marx believed in "the idyllic feaudal system," in that who you are determines what you do. This is contrasts with existential angst that says what you do determines who you are. This existential view relates to the disintegration of the individual felt by the Bourgeoise class. The workers of this class were easily replacable factory workers and so they stuggled in finding out who they were, or their identity. This later leads to the rise of the individual when people feel like they have to find their identity or purpose so they emphasize personal, unique and other terms that embrace onces originality. 

Is this a cycle that will once again return to the disintegration of the individual?
