COMMUNIST MANIFESTO
(PHILIPPINE CHAPTER)

By: Comrade Mark Cua

Part I

The Bourgesie and the Proletariat

"In proportion as the Bourgeoisie, ie Capital is developed in the same proportion is the proletariat

the modern class developed-a class of labourers who lived only so long as they find work

and who find work only so long as their labour increase capital.

These laborers who sell themselves piece meal are a commodity

like every other article of commerce and are consequently exposed to all vicissitudes of competition 

to all fluctuations of the market."

-Communist Manifesto

(Philippine Chapter)

The Proletariat are those who work for the Bourgoeisie for increase in income so they can have something to eat, spend, and feed their families. Proletariat are people who doesn't steal from others and yet they worked for the future within the Capitalist Company and payed their wages.

The Competition of labor force and their competency is indeed vital for the Proletariat because as time goes by modern technology is making life and work easier. The need of so much labor force is getting less and less. The Balance between the use of manpower and machines for production and other means are affecting the income and daily living of the proletariat. 

Sometimes they become the working ants of the Capitalist System yet they are deprived of their rights and their property. They are often even maltreated. As Greed of the Capitalist goes higher, the wages paid to the proletariat are lower to save more money. As wages are lower, the food prices and daily consumables needed by the proletariat are also getting scarcier. 

This is also a direct maltreatment of the labour force and the proletariat in reality without the soldiers of the industry which is the labor force or the proletariat production wouldn't be possible. The rich Capitalist gets richer and the labor force gets poorer. The Capitalists and the Democratic Government are neglecting the millions of families depending on those salaries. 

Democratic Government are also oppressing the Proletariat by siding on the capitalist and denying justice to the proletariat. They even tax heavily the labor force cutting off more portions of their salary and making lesser money for the proletariat to spend on their families.
