free competition will lead to increased prosperity and productivity
classes struggle for a bigger share of economic resources
the wealth of a society should be shared by all

Explanation:

Analyze Marxist class division and competition

Marxist theory divides capitalist society primarily into the bourgeoisie (owners of production) and the proletariat (industrial workers), not agricultural vs. industrial workers. Free competition leading to prosperity is a capitalist idea (Adam Smith), which Marx critiqued.

Evaluate class struggle and wealth distribution

Marx argued that all history is the history of class struggle over economic resources. He advocated for a socialist/communist system where societal wealth is shared collectively by all members of society.

Evaluate the abolition of private property

A core tenet of the Communist Manifesto is the abolition of bourgeois private property, meaning that after a proletarian revolution, private ownership of the means of production will no longer exist.
