The Communist Manifesto

The revolutionary manifesto, first published in 1848, outlines the principles of communism and critiques the capitalist system. It emphasizes class struggle, the exploitation of the working class, and the need for a proletarian revolution to overthrow capitalist societies. The text explores the historical development of class conflicts and advocates for a classless society where the means of production are collectively owned. Its enduring influence has sparked numerous political movements and discussions on social justice and economic equality.
