Abstract

Članak želi ukazati na aktualnost i dalekosežnost analize mehanizama kapitalističkog društva i povijesno revolucionarne uloge buržoazije kakva je dana u Manifestu komunističke partije. Upućuje na pertinentnost analize, kako razorne tako i stvaralačke moći proizvodnih snaga građansko-kapitalističkog društva, te na sposobnost suvremenog društva da neprestano u skladu s potrebama proizvodnje mijenja čovjeka i svijet u kojem živi, mijenjajući etička načela kao i običaje i navade. To se može iščitati u sposobnosti suvremenog društva da isprazni svaki kritički i subverzivni sadržaj, bilo misli bilo prakse, transformirajući je u društveno prihvatljivu. Kapital u globaliziranom svijetu, svijetu koji je najavljen u Manifestu, ne samo da subverzivno pretvara u društveno prihvatljivo već od istoga stvara zaradu. Istovremeno se u tekstu ukazuje na to kako u globaliziranom svijetu postojeći građansko- kapitalistički odnosi postaju preuski da bi obuhvatili i uspješno kontrolirali proizvodne snage koje su stvorili.The intention of this article is to show present-day relevance of analyses of capitalist society mechanisms contained within the Communist Manifesto. Drawing on different examples from recent history, the paper illustrates significance of the argument that bourgeoisie has often played a revolutionary role in history. I argue that an inherent characteristic of capitalism is to continuously transform conditions of human life together with transforming ethical principles and customs of modern society. This is discernible in the ability of modern society to remove any critical or subversive content from thought and practice and to turn it into something socially acceptable. Global capital not only renders this content socially acceptable but also turns it into profit. The paper ends by providing evidence that the conditions of bourgeois society in a globalised world, as Marx and Engels predicted, are too narrow to comprise the wealth that is created by them
