But will there be any new class to take the place of the present proletariat when that has triumphed, as it must do, over the present privileged class? BUT WILL THERE BE ANY NEW CLASS TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THE PRESENT PROLETARIAT WHEN THAT HAS TRIUMPHED AS IT MUST DO OVER THE PRESENT PRIVILEGED CLASS
whom the middle class, which has absorbed the aristocracy, is now face to face: the struggle between the classes therefore is once again a simple one, as in the days of the classical peoples; but since there is no longer any strong race left out of civilization, as in the time of the disruption of Rome, the whole struggle in all its simplicity between those who have and those who lack is _within_ civilization. Moreover, the capitalist or modern slave-owner has been forced by his very success, as we have seen, to organize his slaves, the wage-earners, into a co-operation for production so well arranged that it requires little but his own elimination to make it a foundation for communal life: in the teeth also of the experience of past ages, he has been compelled to allow a modicum of education to the propertyless, and has not even been able to deprive them wholly of political rights; his own advance in wealth and power has bred for him the very enemy who is doomed to make an end of him.
