1830 Rev and Beyond-extra credit over

the conservative return to power with the congress of vienna. "The Bourbons are BACK." In frnace. Louis xvi brother who'll be louis xviii is crowned the new key. He dies, no heirs. His brother Charles x works desperately to reinstate ideas of the ancien regime and remove any form of parliamentarians that remained following the Restoration of the Bourbons. The Catholic Church once agains the OFFICIAL religion of france, no longer the majority. The press is restricted and so is speak, sorry Grub Street Hacks! Basically, the dude is trying to turn back the clock. THEN july 1830 the people revolt. The July Monarchy will be born. He cousin, Louis Philippe (not not king louis philippe) is the new key. He's the Bourgeoise king! LOOK at pics of him He does not look anything like Charles X or louis xviii or xvi, etc by his dress! He dresses like a banker! A business man! "I'm one of YOU GUYS!!" a propertied, business man. The Bourgeoisie continue to be a growing force in society; first in france and then the rest of the way throughout Europe. Attorney, bankers will be at the heart of this new bourgeoisie. SO will the business men who've invested $$$ into promoting efficiency and built factories. The policies of economic liberalism, laissez fair, free trade, end of the guilds/banning of unions. They have worked HARD to become part of the the middle class, the bourgeoisie. They don't want to fall out of this class. That being said, it became SUPER hard to enter the bourgeoise; social mobility became near impossible. Wages will drop, working conditions for the growing working class who will be called the Proletariat, and resentment will grow. Social reformers will emerge to see "what can we do to help?" Engels called the mill towns, the factories, the Satanic Mills. When Marx and Engels write the Communist Manifesto(1848!!!!!!!!!!) they conclude the Bourgeoisie and the policies of economic liberalism have enslaved the working class, the proletariat. They have one option: REVOLUTION. *********** Marx will speak of what's called the Historical Dialectic. Marx spoke of the French Bourgeoisie in 1780's recognizing the birth of their CLASS Consciousness; their desire to be part of society. It will be this bourgeoisie desire for change will lead the revolution. Marx says that the natural evolution of things, the order the Historical Dialectic is that as soon as the Proletariat Recognize THEIR class consciousness that they will overthrow the BOURGEOISIE and create a communal, fully equal society. Class distinction, economic distinction, religious distinction and NATIONAL****** distinction will disappear.
