CEVAP:

First, because of the competition in the capitalist market, capitalists will increase the use of machinery in the factories. This will eliminate the skill differences among the workers, because in these factories, the only duty of a worker is to follow the instructions in order to make the machine work. When all workers become unskilled as such, the working class will be a highly homogeneous class.

• Second, as the capital continues to accumulate in the hands of the capitalists, the capitalists will become richer and the workers will become poorer. Even if the wages of workers may rise and their living standards may become better, the gap between these two classes would not shrink because the wealth of the capitalists depends on the exploitation of the surplus value that the proletariat produce. In addition, the increased machine use in the factories would cause many workers to lose their jobs and become a part of the reserve army of the unemployed. Therefore, the poverty of the working class would perpetually intensify. This process is called pauperization.

• Third, because of the extreme competition -a fundamental trait of capitalism- and particularly of the monopolies, petit bourgeoisie (the owners of small businesses) will lose their properties (means of production) and become a part of proletariat.
