Response to Manifestoon

In the excerpt from “The Communist Manifesto” Karl Marx talks about his ideas for a classless society where the proletarians would lose nothing but their chains and the bourgeoisie would lose their ability to own land and control everything around them such as trade, relations to production, and exchange of property. The proletarians who are the lower income will have more ability to succeed instead of being thrown under the wheel of society. In Noam Chomsky’s “Propaganda Model” he discusses how the upper class, known as the bourgeoisie, control the majority of media and what middle class and lower class (proletarians) see. The same idea is in the works as the bourgeoisie still have the power and still control the media empire forcing the proletarians to just accept whatever is given to them.
Marx discusses this as well when he talks about how the bourgeoisie control everything over the proletarians and because of this control they feel the need to have more and more power. Marx explains it well when he states, “In these crises there breaks out an epidemic that, in all earlier epochs, would have seemed an absurdity -- the epidemic of overproduction. And how does the bourgeoisie get over these crises? On the one hand by enforced destruction of a mass of productive forces; on the other, by the conquest of new markets, and by the more thorough exploitation of the old ones.” This is the same idea going through the Propaganda Model. As soon as the bourgeoisie (media corporations) see more opportunity to take over, they do not hold back. Soon enough maybe only 2 major corporations will own the just about everything in media, instead of the major 5 right now.
