Publisher's Synopsis
The German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848, which was initially known as the Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei).The Communist Manifesto is composed of a prologue, four main parts, and a brief conclusion.The preface warns that communism is "haunting Europe" and urges Communists to publicly state their beliefs and objectives in order to "counter this nursery story of the spectre with a manifesto of the party itself."The communist party will not fight other working-class parties but rather, regardless of nationality, will represent the global proletariat's interests and voice its universal will. The section concludes by laying forth a series of immediate requirements that, if met, would eventually result in a stateless and classless society.The last portion examines the communist perspective on conflicts in certain nations in the middle of the nineteenth century, including France, Switzerland, Poland, and Germany. The document concludes by pledging allegiance to the democratic socialists, vehemently endorsing previous communist revolutions, and urging coordinated global proletariat action.
