Abstract

With the advent of the European Industrial Revolution, the bourgeoisie experienced unprecedented growth, proclaiming themselves representatives of the laboring masses while ruthlessly exploiting the proletariat. In France, alongside the bourgeois revolution, the proletariat gradually awakened, recognizing the reactionary nature of the bourgeoisie and initiating organized resistance movements. It is against this backdrop that the Equals Movement emerged, hailed by Marx as the “first truly active Communist party.”
