Book Description:
The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, is a revolutionary call to arms and a foundational text of modern political thought. First published in 1848, the manifesto outlines the theory of historical materialism and presents a bold critique of capitalism as a system rooted in class struggle and exploitation.
Marx and Engels argue that all history is the history of class conflict and envision a future where the proletariat — the working class — rises to overthrow the bourgeoisie and establish a classless, stateless society. With its iconic opening line, “A spectre is haunting Europe...,” the manifesto is both a fiery political declaration and a concise summary of communist ideology.
Urgent, provocative, and deeply influential, The Communist Manifesto remains a powerful examination of inequality and a rallying cry for social and economic justice.
