The bourgeois revolution has destroyed feudalism and has transmuted servitude into wage-work. At the same time however it has taken away from the worker the few means of existence which the state of servitude used to ensure for them. The serf although he had to labour for the greater part of his time for his lord also had a piece of land with the means and the time to cultivate it/to live his life. The bourgeoisie has destroyed all of that and from the serf has made a free (?) worker who has no other choice either be exploited in the way that we already saw by the first capitalist who happens upon him or die of hunger.
