From what they could see, Europe was becoming a two class society, the bourgeois and the proletariat, which oppressed the working class proletariat. In order to provide the basis for the ideals of the Communist party, Marx and Engels use what is now called Marxist criticism which provides critical aspects of historical and political trends found in society which have resulted in revolutions.
