Detailed explanation-1: -The objective of a proletarian revolution, according to Marxists, is to transform the bourgeois state into a workers’ state. The traditional Marxist belief was that a proletarian revolution could only occur in a country where capitalism had developed.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Marxist theory, the capitalist stage of production consists of two main classes: the bourgeoisie, the capitalists who own the means of production, and the much larger proletariat (or ‘working class’) who must sell their own labour power (See also: wage labour).
Detailed explanation-3: -In the theory of Karl Marx, the term proletariat designated the class of wage workers who were engaged in industrial production and whose chief source of income was derived from the sale of their labour power.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
Detailed explanation-5: -False consciousness is a condition in which the beliefs, ideals, or ideology of a person are not in the person’s own best interest. In fact, it is the ideology of the dominant class (here, the bourgeois capitalists) that is imposed upon the proletariat.
