Marx's Communist Manifesto

Questions we might ask ourselves:

1. How can we expect that any society will not have hierarchy, class divisions, and power differentials?
2. And, if these (i.e. class divisions) are tempered by cultural aspects that control or direct thought and behavior, how can we expect a revolt by the masses?
3. I understand Marx's argument or belief that capitalists destroy, or are constantly causing their own crises through competition and expansion for survival. Theoretically, but I would like to see/hear an example of how the proletariat responded, step by step, to create massive change. And, I would like to see/hear an analysis, describing events and their causal relationships, once again, step by step, of the deterioration of a society's beurgeois class. What happened? What were their "mistakes"? How did they respond? What factors precipitated each event?
4. I need to discuss how the bourgeoisie "supplies the proletariat with its own elements of political and general education". It makes sense, but further discussion will solidify this process.
5. Are home loans a way that capitalists appease the proletariat? (Just popped into my head.)
We all know that a "man's home is his castle".
6. We do live according to the interests of the ruling class; I have felt this for many years. The "system" convinces us to "get ahead", plan for future challenges; but if we play by the rules of the game, the game is "fixed" so that one can get ahead only so much. The struggle is day-to-day and it continues until death. The ruling class (and I have said this for years of the military) calculates what it can take and what it needs to give back to stay in its position and have its interests reflected in law, civil and criminal, and the enforcement of the law; within the context of federal agency guidance and guidelines that dictate what all must follow, individually or within the workforce/workplace; and perpetuates itself through the media. Do you remember an AT & T's commercial from about 1982? "The system is the solution" was the theme. It struck me then, and it strikes me now.
7. In communistic society, how does the present dominate the past?
8. The bourgeoisie is involved in unconscious destruction of itself. How did humankind "get in this fix"?
9. What socialistic steps have we had to take to keep our U.S. economic ship afloat, if any?
10. Altering the economic system of the world as Marx suggests in the CM...how can this be realistically fathomed? I advance the thought that the socialization of most in the first world precludes this from happening, irrespective of class. Most accept the system as is and the most prominent nation's leader/administration is simply and obviously tweaking the system, the most one might reasonably expect. Inequality will continue to be addressed within a present-day system approach.
11. What is the importance of a nation's military? (Looking for perspective here!) What can a military force really do in today's world? Seems pretty limited to me as the world has changed drastically since WW II, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf War in the 1990s. Somebody recently asked if the military was a closed system. This is part of my point...the U.S. military is and is not, depending upon political forces in the environment at the moment.
