Here inclosed is the Content of The Genticus Manuscript, a work I'm writing that discusses my Communist Philosophy, which is especially seperate from the norm of such philosophy through the concepts of Class Transition and the Middle Class, which are explained in the below. It's an ongoing writing, but don't expect more soon. I may or may not write it in the near future.
Either way, here inclosed is what is insofar the full content of the Genticus Manuscript (For those who don't know, Genticus is Latin for National or Governmental or something like that, and is a temporary name). I welcome, encourage, and beg for questions, comments, critiques, and any other type of response you may have.



I - Bourgeoisie and Proletariat, and the Middle Class, and the Needed Revolution


Throughout all of history leading up to the present 21st-Century Economy, there has always been such a thing as class struggle. Back in the days of old, there were the slaves and the masters, and there continues to be today, in the form of the Oppressor, the Bourgeoisie and the Oppressed, the Proletariat.
Unfortunately, today, things are slightly more complicated than they were in the days of Karl Marx. As it becomes harder and harder to define people as proletariates or bourgeois, more and more are becoming simultaneously oppressive and oppressed. In effect, this takes almost everyone out of the position of Bourgeoisie and out of Proletariat, into the sub, Middle Class.
As technology becomes more and more advanced, so the need for workers in the Middle Class decreases. Only certain jobs flourish in our new, Global Economy and any certain person is almost certainly doomed to fail, even if some do transcend and become oppressive bourgeois.
However, something even is oppressing them. No sane person has true peace of mind anymore. For those in common industry (Proletariates), it's the imminent prospect of being dropped of being dropped by those who were successful in said trade. For those who make it big in common industry (Bourgeois), it is a matter of oppression by the Government, and for the Government, it is a mix of society and other governments that creates the most oppression. Eventually, this leads to not only a downfall of both Bourgeoisie and Proletariat into absolute Middle Class, but a downfall in such necessities and education, travel, and government finances.
War takes over. Chaos becomes the most frequent state of being. With few available job options due to creation of ever more sophisticated machines, people begin starving on the street. This can be seen not just in the United States, but across the world, even, no, especially, in proletarian states such as China.
Essentially, there are two major causes of the fall from Proletariat and Bourgeoisie into the Middle Class. Too strong a Central Government, and too "civilized" a culture. Given enough time, the desperate Bourgeois will search in some way for protection from becoming one of the Middle Class. If history is to teach us anything, it is how the last remnants of the Bourgeois will react. With the support of capitalist government, it will invade foreign nations and take their riches, food, water, etc., making the rich even richer, and hoping to preserve Bourgeois status. Unfortunately for them, eventually they will squander all their resources searching for more because this obsession becomes so great that they themselves will eventually become the Middle Class that they sought so hard to escape.
Past all this, there is only one way to escape the possibility of Total Middle Class: Revolution. This revolution must take place on a global scale, almost simultaneously. The idea is that we need to turn different-minded nations into like-minded nations, and from like-minded nations into one World Nation, in which everyone is totally liberated from the Middle Class. In this nation, electronic development must be discouraged for chance of sinking back into the Bourgeoisie and Proletariat, and over many years the Middle Class, and agricultural, literary, scientific, mathematical and philosophical development should be encouraged.

If we all evened out into the middle class, things would be okay but this is not the case. As the capitalists get bigger, the middle class gets smaller and most of it's members become regular prolatariates. Proles whose living standards will drop dramatically. Basically the rich get richer and the middle class gets poorer along with the other legions of poor.

The actual point is, though, eventually this money will stop circulating and everyone will drop into the state of Middle Class. While what you say above may be true for a time, at the end of it all, under the current capitalist circumstances, we will all eventually fall into Total Middle Class. Also, I think you may also have a flawed understanding of my definition of Middle Class.
Middle Class is not exactly the middlepoint in money and riches, but is the middlepoint in oppression. While the Higher Class troubles the Lower Class, and the Lower Class knows nothing but trouble, the Middle Class is both the troubled and the troubler.

Unless 'we' means humanity I think you're going down the wrong path. Humanity, that is all the oppressed people of the world in all the world's nations need to come together for the World Nation - imposing a socialist state is no good - just look at the USSR, hardly a successful and egalitarian model of Socialism.

Hmmm, try looking at propaganda - i.e. the effect of the 'American dream' on people who suffer US 'Dollar imperialism'. Oppressed people believe the only way to end their oppression is to become 'successful' and then become the oppressor. Capitalist society teaches the 'survival of the fittest' so it seems to people to be a choice between spend your life oppressed or work to be the oppressor. I'm not saying everyone believes this but unfortunately enough do. The middle-class is a Tory-Conservative invention in my opinion. There is no such thing as the possibility of a totally middle-class society as they are in the 'middle' of something. The bourgeoisie and the proletariat will always exist so long as Capitalism exists. You could look at how the 'middle-class' idea is a propaganda tool rather than an actual class, but it's just a suggestion.

I somewhat agree on this phenom that you mention, were a great number of people are both opressed and opressors, but I belive this is only in the first world contries, in third world countries the vast majority of people are just opressed and not opresors.
