It's nonsense to say that Marx thought any other class than the proletariat was ever universal

The section on Marx here is completely mistaken - Marx thought that the proletariat was the first and only universal class. For example, from the Communist Manifesto:

"All previous historical movements were movements of minorities, or in the interest of minorities. The proletarian movement is the self-conscious, independent movement of the immense majority, in the interest of the immense majority."Squarish (talk) 08:04, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it on the grounds that it's a) entirely unsourced, b) disputed for over a decade, and c) written as an opinionated essay. Reyk _YO! 14:14, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
