The condition of the working class in England 02
However, the machine created a large number of proletariat.
Until then, the veteran chief craftsmen had been driven out by large factory owners.
Those who are born into the proletariat cannot escape the proletariat for the rest of their lives.
Becoming a large factory owner requires a large amount of capital.
The British bourgeoisie ignores this plight.
Engels defines social competition in large cities as war.
Engels continues to report on the slums of England.
Articles from the Times and the Guardian are also cited from time to time.
The slums are unsanitary and smelly. Some people starve to death.
The structure of slums is common in all countries.
It is a huge maze of thousands of shabby huts, unmaintained roads and rivers.
Nearby, the bourgeoisie is living a luxurious life and indulging in hedonism.
These absurdities are aided by the bourgeoisie's allies, the law, the police, and the juries.
The wealthy look at the slums and laugh.
Rich people laugh at young women suffering from hunger, squalor, and disease.
The movie ”Le jeune Karl Marx (2017)'' is a well-made movie. However, the scenery of Manchester in the short scene in which Engels investigates the poverty situation in England at the beginning is still beautiful compared to Engels' description.
In his writings, Engels repeatedly reported on the stench of shantytowns.
*In Japan, it is common to translate England to Great Britain. Many of Engels's works have been translated into English, so this article followed suit.
