Research On The Protection Of The Rights And Interests Of The Working Class In Engels’s The Condition Of The Working Class In England

Engels’ The Condition of the Working Class in England is an important text to study the rights and interests of the Marxist working class.This paper systematically combs the social roots,theoretical sources and subjective conditions of Engels’ thoughts on the protection of the rights and interests of the working class.Based on the analysis of the poor working conditions and poor living conditions of the working class in the British society in the text "The Condition of the Working Class",the paper expounds the specific manifestations of the damage to the rights and interests of the working class: crowded houses,dirty streets,poor food,inadequate clothes,moral degradation,poor education,forced labor,excessive labor,health damage,frequent diseases;The reasons for the damage of the rights and interests of the working class are as follows: the capitalist mode of production causes social injustice,the capitalist system intensifies the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the working class,and the disorderly free competition intensifies the poverty of the working class.This paper summarizes the characteristics of the thought of protecting the rights and interests of the working class: revolutionary,practical,popular and equal,reveals the fact that the working class is ruthlessly exploited and oppressed by the bourgeoisie,and tentatively explores the theoretical law and builds the theoretical framework,finally drawing the following conclusions: Defining the dominant position of the working class,establishing new political parties/organizations,formulating clear programs,and overthrowing the capitalist system to protect the basic rights and interests of the working class.Engels’ thought of protecting the rights and interests of the working class is a complete system.The basic content of this system includes protecting the economic rights and interests of the working class on the basis of safeguarding the rights and interests of the working class.Protecting the political rights and interests of the working class on the basis of the revolution;Protect the social rights and interests of the working class on the basis of striving for equal status;Protect the cultural rights and interests of the working class on the basis of constantly raising consciousness in the struggle;On the basis of abolishing private ownership,the health rights and interests of the working class will be protected.Engels believed that the fundamental cause of the damage to the rights and interests of the working class was the capitalist social system,and the working class itself was the decisive force for social change.Therefore,on the basis of confirming the principal position of the working class in society,through the gradual practice of the working class itself,a new political party should be established and the working class should be organized,a clear program should be formulated to point out the correct path of social liberation of the working class,the historical mission of the working class should be determined,the capitalist system should be overruled and a communist society should be established eventually.The real liberation of the working class.
