Millions died while trying to produce enough rubber to satisfy the Belgians. (APEX)

The Belgian rule of the Congo was very, very brutal, perhaps one of the most brutal in the history. The indigenous population was required to provide rubber to the colonizers, but the amount of rubber was unrealistic, and the punishment for this was death. Because of this, great amount of people died or were mutilated (cut off right hand was a "proof" of killing someone, so sometimes people just cut off hands to prove they killed an indigenous person and claim the reward..).

According to the Communist Manifesto, what did he hope would finally happen to the bourgeoisie?
shusha [124]

Marx believed that capitalism contained the seeds of its own destruction. He described how the wealth of the bourgeoisie depended on the work of the proletariat. Therefore, capitalism requires an underclass. But Marx predicted that the continued exploitation of this underclass would create great resentment. Eventually the proletariat would lead a revolution against the bourgeoisie. The final struggle would lead to the overthrow of capitalism and its supporters. Marx wrote that modern bourgeois society ,is like the sorcerer, who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells.
