Detailed explanation-1: -Marx states that classes share common interests and that these interests are in direct opposition of the other classes. For the bourgeoisie, according to Marx, their interests were centered around exploiting the proletariat and the opposing interests of the proteleiarts would be to overthrow the bouregeosise.
Detailed explanation-2: -In relation to property there are three great classes of society: the bourgeoisie (who own the means of production such as machinery and factory buildings, and whose source of income is profit), landowners (whose income is rent), and the proletariat (who own their labor and sell it for a wage).
Detailed explanation-3: -To correct this injustice and achieve true freedom, Marx said the workers must first overthrow the capitalist system of private property. The workers would then replace capitalism with a communist economic system, in which they would own property in common and share the wealth they produced.
