205. Yet all is not lost. Human beings, while capable of the worst, are also capable of rising above themselves, choosing again what is good, and making a new start, despite their mental and social conditioning. We are able to take an honest look at ourselves, to acknowledge our deep dissatisfaction, and to embark on new paths to authentic freedom. No system can completely suppress our openness to what is good, true and beautiful, or our God-given ability to respond to his grace at work deep in our hearts. I appeal to everyone throughout the world not to forget this dignity which is ours. No one has the right to take it from us.
Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lordand serf, guild-master(3) andjourneyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant oppositionto one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight,a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitutionof society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.
The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudalsociety has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but establishednew classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in placeof the old ones.
The discovery of America, the rounding of the Cape, opened up freshground for the rising bourgeoisie. The East-Indian and Chinese markets,the colonisation of America, trade with the colonies, the increase in themeans of exchange and in commodities generally, gave to commerce, to navigation,to industry, an impulse never before known, and thereby, to the revolutionaryelement in the tottering feudal society, a rapid development.
Meantime the markets kept ever growing, the demand ever rising. Evenmanufacturer no longer sufficed. Thereupon, steam and machinery revolutionisedindustrial production. The place of manufacture was taken by the giant,Modern Industry; the place of the industrial middle class by industrialmillionaires, the leaders of the whole industrial armies, the modern bourgeois.
Hitherto, every form of society has been based, as we have already seen,on the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes. But in order tooppress a class, certain conditions must be assured to it under which itcan, at least, continue its slavish existence. The serf, in the periodof serfdom, raised himself to membership in the commune, just as the pettybourgeois, under the yoke of the feudal absolutism, managed to developinto a bourgeois. The modern labourer, on the contrary, instead of risingwith the process of industry, sinks deeper and deeper below the conditionsof existence of his own class. He becomes a pauper, and pauperism developsmore rapidly than population and wealth. And here it becomes evident, thatthe bourgeoisie is unfit any longer to be the ruling class in society,and to impose its conditions of existence upon society as an over-ridinglaw. It is unfit to rule because it is incompetent to assure an existenceto its slave within his slavery, because it cannot help letting him sinkinto such a state, that it has to feed him, instead of being fed by him.Society can no longer live under this bourgeoisie, in other words, itsexistence is no longer compatible with society.
