>>1804903I should say that I wrote "vestige" when it should have been "appendage". There are some other spelling mistakes. And I wanted to expand on some points. Here's the corrected version (I'm not going to delete the old one).
i) As class society developed, it developed according to certain laws characteristic of its mode of production. These laws were accidental, but based on certain historical relations these classes had.
ii) Capitalist society developed firstly in England and in the Netherlands around the 16th century. It has gone through the phases of mercantilism, state capitalism, and finally imperialism - when capitalist society has spread over the Earth.
iii) Due to the expansion of markets and mass industry, every other historical class transforms into either proletarian or capitalist.
iv) Today, historical forms of class society exist only as appendages of capitalist society.
v) Wage work forms the basis of bourgeois society, existing only if capital exists.
vi) Capital represents a social relation between the landed bourgeois and the landless, propertyless proletarian.
vii) The proletarian is compelled by these circumstances to engage in unequal transactions with the bourgeois, selling their labor-power on the market as a commodity.
viii) Bourgeois property rights guarantee the existence of capital.
ix) As capitalist society inevitably enters cycles of crisis due to the internal logic of the capitalist system, the class distinctions between proletarians and the bourgeoisie sharpen, and the class struggle takes clearer forms.
x) If the proletarian class aims to prevail in this struggle, it must abolish bourgeois property rights. Doing so eliminates the foundation of wage work and capital, thereby abolishing capitalist class society and, consequently, class society in general.
