A proletarian revolution or proletariat revolution is a social revolution in which the working class attempts to overthrow the bourgeoisie and change the previous political system. Proletarian revolutions are generally advocated by socialists, communists and anarchists.
The concept of a revolutionary proletariat was first put forward by the French revolutionary socialist and radical Auguste Blanqui. The Paris Commune, contemporary to Blanqui and Marx, being viewed by some as the first attempt at a proletarian revolution.
Marxists believe proletarian revolutions can and will likely happen in all capitalist countries, related to the concept of world revolution. The objective of a proletarian revolution, according to Marxists, is to transform the bourgeois state into a workers' state. The traditional Marxist belief was that a proletarian revolution could only occur in a country where capitalism had developed.
The Leninist branch of Marxism argues that a proletarian revolution must be led by a vanguard of "professional revolutionaries", men and women who are fully dedicated to the communist cause and who form the nucleus of the communist revolutionary movement. This vanguard is meant to provide leadership and organization to the working class before and during the revolution, which aims to prevent the government from successfully ending it. Vladimir Lenin believed that it was imperative to arm the working class to secure their leverage over the bourgeoisie. Lenin's words were printed in an article in German on the nature of pacifism and said "In every class society, whether based on slavery, serfdom, or, as at present, on wage-labour, the oppressor class is always armed." It was under such conditions that the first successful proletarian revolution, the Russian revolution, occurred.
Other Marxists, such as Luxemburgists, disagree with the Leninist idea of a vanguard and insist that the entire working class—or at least a large part of it—must be deeply involved and equally committed to the socialist or communist cause for a proletarian revolution to be successful.

Dans la théorie marxiste, l'avant-garde est la fraction la plus consciente et la plus politisée du prolétariat ; les organisations dites avant-gardistes militent pour tirer la classe ouvrière vers une politique révolutionnaire et prendre le pouvoir politique. En théorie, l'avant-garde ne vise pas à être un organisme distinct de la classe ouvrière qui tente de se placer au centre du mouvement et l'orienter dans une direction conforme à sa propre idéologie.
The history of socialism has its origins in the Age of Enlightenment and the 1789 French Revolution along with the changes that it brought, although it has precedents in earlier movements and ideas. The Communist Manifesto was written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1847-48 just before the Revolutions of 1848 swept Europe, expressing what they termed scientific socialism. In the last third of the 19th century parties dedicated to Democratic socialism arose in Europe, drawing mainly from Marxism.
La lutte des classes est une expression qui désigne les tensions dans une société hiérarchisée et divisée en classes sociales, chacune luttant pour sa situation sociale et économique, et un modèle théorique qui explique les enjeux de cet affrontement. Ce concept est apparu au chez les historiens libéraux français de la Restauration, François Guizot, l'initiateur, Augustin Thierry, Adolphe Thiers et François-Auguste Mignet, auxquels Karl Marx l'a emprunté.
