Bourgeoisie and Proletariat

One day the revolution will come.
For Karl Marx there are two types of individuals in the capitalistic society, one of those two individuals are the proletariat. These people are the workers in the capitalistic society who sell their labor time because they do not own the means of production. The other people are the bourgeoisie who are the capitalist and own both the means of production and wages of the workers. In this picture I show my three cockatoos. The yellows are the workers who do their jobs in the factories, while the gray is the capitalist who watches every move the workers do. This can be see as a hierarchy of sorts, at the bottom of this cage are the yellow workers, and top the lonely gray bourgeoisie/capitalist.
