reasons for communism

Even though their goal is to create an entirely new form of economy, Marx and Engels give an abundant amount of credit to capitalism and the things it has achieved. I think they discuss capitalism because just as capitalism is a development, communism is as well. In the Communism Manifesto Marx and Engels discuss how the bourgeoisie (capitalism) is driven by competition. They discuss how "The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing instruments of production." How just as each industry is constantly being replaced with new industry and how the world is constantly being revolutionized over and over again. I think that they discuss how capitalism has revolutionized world markets, the time has finally come for capitalism itself to me revolutionized.

Even though Marx and Engels say that the bourgeoisie revolutionized the marketplace, it is falling apart upon itself. Due simply to having too much of everything. Too much food, too many things, and too many people. And the people who are hit hardest when capitalism fails them are the proletariat; the working man. The more the bourgeoisie develops, the worse off those who are at the bottom of the working class are. And there are more people in the working class than anywhere else. Because of this, first they form a political party, and then the idea of revolution develops. Because of these factors, capitalism becomes just like any other outdated version of society. Just like the way feudalism was uprooted by revolutionaries, so will capitalism. Therefore, a new solution is needed. And that solution, according to Marx and Engels, is communism.
