Detailed explanation-1: -By controlling wealth and the means of production, Marx argued that the bourgeoisie held all the power and forced the proletariat to take dangerous, low-paying jobs, in order to survive. Despite having superior numbers, the proletariat was powerless against the will of the bourgeoisie.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Marx, capitalist society is divided into two classes-the bourgeoisie (ruling capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class). Through the unequal distribution of resources and ownership, the ruling class exploits the working class.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to Marx, the bourgeoisie held all the power and this included power on the political front. Marx believed that the state 100% served the Bourgeoisie’s interests-which again were wealth and controlling the means of production.

The ruling class paid the working class less wages than they deserved, made them work long hours in poor conditions, and kept the profit from the sale of the goods produced.
Detailed explanation-5: -In Marxist theory, the bourgeoisie plays a heroic role by revolutionizing the industry and modernizing society. However, it also seeks to monopolize the benefits of this modernization by exploiting the propertyless proletariat and thereby creating revolutionary tensions.
