Charlie And The Communist Factory.

     In The Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx, he states two classes, the bourgeoise and the proletariats    . These two classes can relate to a common and lovable movie, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". The bourgeoise basically being the middle class suppressed by an even higher class, or Charlie, being unable to obtain the things he needs for his poor family. Also the proletariats, or the Ompa Lompas, as they are the workers for an even higher power. Finally the leader or highest power is Willy Wonka himself. In the Manifesto, it says that the bourgeoise try to step up and in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" the children that don't listen to Willy Wonka and go off to disobey and try the candy or taste the river. The factory itself is meant to be the utopia which Marx describes, a perfect world, self sufficient, and when something doesn't fit, remove it. It's amazing how concepts from The Communist Manifesto could be right in front of us, not even realizing it.
