We now know that as the ink was drying on the Communist Manifesto, wages in Europe and the United States were beginning a 160 year long rise, making workers part of the middle class, with cars, mortgages, pensions, and petty bourgeois concerns. Politicians today promise to create jobs or more opportunities to be exploited by capital not to take over the means of production.

This type of polarization has been going on in the United States for decades, and it is taking place in Europe too with important consequences for society.

Marx s comparative advantage was to read Hegel and create a narrative in which history is the history of class struggle, with the newly emergent industrial proletariat destined to develop class consciousness and overthrow the political and economic order created by the bourgeoisie. Liberal democracy has been at a disadvantage in the battle for the narrative because it tends to treat the collective self as if it were just a rational median voter in search of a better job.

Since communism became obsolete and the dictatorship of the proletariat is out of date, capitalism proves to be the best so far, even though it itself is still a threat for humanity.

In the West, capitalism and democracy progressed in tandem, as the development of markets reduced the power of landlords and increased that of the working and middle classes. By participating actively in politics, basing their electoral choices on rational self interest, and developing the sense of moderation needed to resist dictatorship, the middle class promotes democratic progress.
