    Karl Marx argued that society is divided into two main social classes - the bourgeoisie who own the means of production, and the proletariat who are the workers. Marx believed that class conflict and antagonism arise from this relationship as the proletariat revolt against unfair labor practices. He also argued that economic factors like income and poverty are the primary drivers of social inequality, and that overcoming this inequality would require class consciousness and social improvement. Marx's end goal was the establishment of a utopian, classless society without these conflicts.
