    I can’t bring myself to fully grasp the concept Louise Bourgeois is trying to make. Even after reading the description of the sculpture, I still do not understand what she is trying to make the admirer perceive.

However, I do not view this as art because it does

    At one point, the divide between the two groups was so great that it was suggested to divide society by class in full. Those considered to be from bourgeois backgrounds would be denied urban services and physically separated from those of truly “red” backgrounds, like the cadres and lower peasants. However, Mao later issued a statement in autumn of 1966 denouncing this belief, declaring that “one’s

    some parts of Novikov’s response almost appear to portray the USSR as an underdog overcoming an imperialistic power – a portrayal strikingly similar to the Marxist idea of the downtrodden proletariat overcoming the disproportionately overpowered bourgeois. Just as Cold War America may have understood its place in the world thanks to Manifest Destiny, the founding ideals of Marx and Lenin may have also defined how Cold War Russia viewed

Throughout the text Marx focuses on the divide between the two classes, and the impact it had on society. Marx “the history all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” Before the bourgeoisie rose to power, Feudal society was the dominant social system in which the upper class provided land and protection for the working class. Eventually the feudal society could not keep up with the growing

    goals of Communists. The first is to form the Proletariats into a class. The second is to overthrow the Bourgeois supremacy and the third is to gain all political power. Through these three steps a Communist state would be instituted and the nation could begin the other steps of establishing a just society.

    The Rules of the Game Jean Renoir’s 1939 film is a powerfully directed movie and functions historically with just as much flare and enthusiasm as it functions aesthetically. Even though it begins with a disclaimer regarding the unintentionality of any possible social commentary that could be derived from it, the disclaimer is more lip service than anything else.
