Manifesto of the Communist Party
by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels
"Manifesto of the Communist Party" by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels is a political pamphlet published in 1848. This influential document argues that all history is defined by class struggle, with capitalism pitting the working proletariat against the property-owning bourgeoisie. The authors contend that capitalism exploits workers and creates its own destruction by unifying the oppressed. They predict revolution will lead to communism—a classless society—and propose transitional policies including progressive taxation, abolition of private property, and universal education. The text concludes with a rallying cry for working-class solidarity.
