There were far more consequences to the inherent and evident separation of the newly classified classed under the, now prevalent, commercial capitalist economies. In realizing that they (the capitalist) had a new tool with which they could barter or trade, they also realized they now had an effective tool to keep the cost of the labor commodity down and in effect control those of the labor community that would become trouble for the new way of doing things in this new capitalist, industrial, power creating realm. .
The first casualty was and is always the worker / laborer in a capitalist society, according to Marx. See, first of all, Marx saw the many (laborers) as victims who were or are taking advantage of by the owners of the factories and other means/facilities of production to satisfy the gain of profit by the few (capitalist). Marx argued that under capitalism labor seldom receives more than bare subsistence. According to Marx, the surplus remaining is appropriated by the capitalists as their profits. This was a belief that many laborers, trying to organize to obtain better wages and work conditions during early commercial capitalism, held and acted upon. .
Arguing that "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles," and that liberal governments and ideology were merely agents of the exploiting owners of property, Marx advocated the abolition of private property and predicted the demise of capitalism after a series of recurring crises. The abolition of property, and therefore of class exploitation, would make possible a situation in which individuals would contribute according to their abilities and take according to their needs. These were and are the ways that capitalist techniques of acquiring their wealth and consequently attaining more of the wealth while disallowing many of those without it to continue to go without wealth and remain in a laborers mode of life to insure that the capitalist will always have workforce at a low cost to produce the goods and services needed to maintain a capitalist standard of life.
