Class Warfare

As we all know that class warfare is an open fight among classes in societies. In English 110, we discoursed that Class Warfare affects every one of us in societies that we live in. Class Warfare is not usual war with cannons or high-altitude bombers. I wish it was a gun fight. But, up till now, there have been times in our history where the guns have been turned on those who dare to confront the wealthy elite. Throughout history, societies have been divided into different collective subgroups based on their economic status, living styles and communal distinctiveness. As the article produced by NPR public news broadcast exposes that the first significant historical emerging of class families in our society was originally phrased by groups of social philosophers named Marx and Engels in 1848. The phrase Class Struggle was then used as a cartoon propaganda by socialists in politics to convince people about class violence against capitalism. In Communist Manifesto, Class Struggle falls into two social subgroups, the proletariat which includes “the working classes” and the bourgeoisie who called as “the upper classes or elite.” The articled released by NPR describes well about the backgrounds of Class Struggle. This Article also analyzed and compared the current class groups in the United States of America and how the only phrase “Class Warfare” becomes the top party-political agenda in American politics. I think this article was very interesting to read it and it just gives the reader a brief summary and contextual background of the phrase “Class Warfare”. I would also recommend you guys to read the article if you guys are interested on that. I am potentially hopeful that the article will give you brief info about the old and current class fights that are taking places across the world.
