The struggle of capitalism divides society into 2 classes, producing more agression: bourgeoisie (owners of the means of production) and proletariat (workers). Although both classes participate in the active production, the mode of distribution of the goods doesn not correspond to the contribution of each class. There are differents types of values. Firstly production value, which is how much it took to make the product. Secondly surplus value, which are the profits (sales income less the cost of materials used up). Thirdly market value, which is the cost in the market.
All this conditions produces violence. Conditions get worse and worse, being more poor people and few rich people. There is only one way to change this: with a revolution.
What marx claims is that the existence of classes is bound up with particular historical faces in the development of production and the class struggle nececessarily leads to proletariat (rule of working class). He also claims that proletariat is only a transition to the evolution of all classes.
I agree with this post. I remember how we also talked about the historical phases that Marx stated. I believe that it may also be a revolution by the workers if things continue as they are.
