Brothers and sisters this was written more than 130 years ago, in countries like Australia, Canada, United states or several european countries they do have "middle class" but inside the country i come from, this is just a dream , the gap between rich and poor has expanded constantly, to the point of being the country with biggest gap between rich and poor.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote these phrase
In countries where modern civilization has become fully developed, a new class of petty bourgeois has been formed, fluctuating between proletariat and bourgeoisie and ever renewing itself as a supplementary part of bourgeois society. the individual members of this class, however are being constantly hurled down into proletariat by the action of competition, and, as modern industry develops, they even see the moment approaching when they will completely disappear as an independent section of modern society, to be replaced, in manufacture, agriculture and commerce, by overlookers, bailiffs and shopmen.
