"The illusory community, in which individuals have up till now combined, always took on an independent existence in relation to them, and was at the same time, since it was the combination of one class over against another, not only a completely illusory community, but a new fetter as well. In the real community the individuals obtain their freedom in and through their association."
What difference do "illusory communities" (where it's one class over another) and "real communities" (where the individuals gain their freedom through association), in terms of classes actually have, as it seems as if they are both virtually the same in this right?

Members of the illusory community existed independently from each other.(They were classified as being part of the same community but did not see each other that way) One class is dominant over the other( bourgeoisie over the proleteriat)The creation of the fake community results in new and more complicated restraints.
This is similar to the freedom of the slaves. The the new problems and complications arose with trying to integrate the newly freed slaves into a society that wanted to remain dominant over them.
