"The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his "natural superiors", and has left no other nexus between people than naked self-interest, than callous "cash payment". It has drowned out the most heavenly ecstacies of religious fervor, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom -- Free Trade. In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation."
By starting each of these sentences with "It has" puts further emphasis on the content. The repetition serves as a way of making it clear to the reader so that they do not forget it. The terms in quotes are also important. They make the term stand out amongst the rest of the content. Though this passage is basically a list about what the bourgeoisie has done, it is written in high style.
The opinion presented here is strong. It is clear that the opinions shows that the bourgeoisie is not favored. This comes across strongly and is convincing to the reader.
