Marx called for a new system – he said that all of human history was a class struggle.
A. One group of people, BOURGEOSIE, or middle class, (the oppressors) owned the means of production (land, raw materials, money, factories, etc.). He argued that this gave them the power to control government and society.
B. The other group, PROLETARIAT, or working class (the oppressed) depended on the owners of the means of production.

4. Marxism
Marx predicted an open revolution between the two groups in which the proletariat would violently overthrow the bourgeoisie. Afterward the proletariat would set up a dictatorship (government led by one person or group with an absolute power) producing a classless society.
