Publisher's Synopsis
The Communist Manifesto is a political pamphlet written by German philosopher and economist Friedrich Engels and political theorist Karl Marx. It was published in 1848 and is considered one of the most influential political texts in history. The book outlines the principles of communism and argues that capitalism is an inherently flawed system that exploits the working class. Engels and Marx propose a revolutionary approach to overthrowing capitalism and establishing a classless society. The book is divided into four sections: the history of class struggle, the principles of communism, criticisms of other socialist movements, and a call to action. The Communist Manifesto has been translated into numerous languages and has had a significant impact on political and social movements around the world.The Communists, therefore, are on the one hand, practically, the most advanced and resolute section of the working-class parties of every country, that section which pushes forward all others; on the other hand, theoretically, they have over the great mass of the proletariat the advantage of clearly understanding the line of march, the conditions, and the ultimate general results of the proletarian movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
