Manifesto of the Communist Party (Communist Manifesto)

The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848, is a political pamphlet that explains the struggles between different social classes, mainly the working class (proletariat) and the owners of production (bourgeoisie). It argues that history is driven by class conflicts and advocates for a revolutionary change to establish a society where resources and production are shared collectively. The manifesto calls for workers to unite, overthrow capitalist systems, and create a classless society focused on equality and collective well-being. It remains a foundational text for socialist and communist movements worldwide.
