Abstract
The current paper talks about the unavoidable class system that we all are entrapped in. The basic issue lies in the fact that the society we live in and grow operates on the system of class consciousness. The rich /bourgeoisie class uses and abuses the low or poor class to get their work done, whereas the poor or the proletariat has no choice except to be manipulated by the rich class for the cost of labor, for they know that their survival lies in manipulation. It has become an accepted phenomenon that the rich class/bourgeoisie exploits the poor class for their needs and desires. The rich class has become totally dependent on the proletariat and they know they cannot move without them. As the society is designed and planned on unequal footings so, on the one hand, the rich class has found a medium to exploit the labor class but at the same time the proletariat are not allowed to interact with them and furthermore there is bleak chance of their unification as the lower/labor class is itself a stigma in the eyes of the bourgeoisie.

Summary
Karl Marx is attributed to the formulation of his revolutionary theory which is termed as Marxism. Marx was interested in knowing that how human beings are shaped and how relationships in the society formed. He was not interested in solving the problems of the people at the individual level rather focused on economic production and thought. According to Barry (1995), “The aim of Marxism is to bring about a classless society, based on the common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange” Karl Marx is of the notion that the state has some binding on the proletariat that they cannot own the land or make property as it is the possession of the state which initiates class struggle or class consciousness. As quoted by Barry (1995) “Marxism sees progress coming about through the struggle for power between different social classes” (p. 108)
