Beschreibung

The bourgeois revolution has destroyed feudalism and has transmuted servitude into wage-work. At the
same time, however, it has taken away from the worker the few means of existence, which the state of
servitude used to ensure for them. The serf, although he had to labour for the greater part of his time for
his lord, also had a piece of land with the means and the time to cultivate it/to live his life. The bourgeoisie
has destroyed all of that, and from the serf has made a free (?) worker, who has no other choice, either be
exploited in the way that we already saw, by the first capitalist who happens upon him, or die of hunger.
