In Chapter 3, Marx and Engels analyzes three different types of socialism. The first category is that of Reactionary socialism which is made up of feudal socialism, petty bourgeois socialism and true German socialism. Feudal socialist literature arose in the aftermath of the French Revolution as a reaction to the domination of the bourgeoisie. It was propelled by English and French aristocrats who were perhaps interested in propelling their own vested interests. The petty bourgeoisie stand in the twilight zone of slipping into the category of the proletariats as they are descendants of the class of medieval burgesses and peasant proprietors.
