Class Struggle

Class struggle refers to the ongoing conflict and tensions between different classes in a society. These classes are defined by their relationship to the means of production and their level of access to resources and power.

In Marxist theory, class struggle is a central concept that highlights the antagonistic relationship between the capitalist class (bourgeoisie) and the working class (proletariat). 

According to Marx, the bourgeoisie owns and controls the means of production, while the proletariat sells their labor in exchange for wages.
