e. Classless Society: The result of the revolutionary overthrow of the bourgeoisie by the proletariat will be the establishment of a classless society in which class distinctions and antagonisms no longer exist. In such a society, there also will no longer exist the political power represented by the State, in which one class rules and exploits other classes. Marx offers few details regarding the precise nature of this future society. IN a classless society, the governance of people which characterizes a State, is supplanted by the administration of things, whereby there is a co-operative management of non-human objects and processes for the benefit of all Without providing details he also mentions the need for a state in which there exists a “revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat” during the stage of transition from capitalist to communist society. And ultimately is a communist society, it will be possible to declare, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!” From Marx’ standpoint through speculation concerning the precise nature of future society is far les important than the description of the present historical conditions which establish the inevitable overthrow of capitalism.
