Marx's "The Communist Manifesto"

"The Communist Manifesto," written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, is a political pamphlet that advocates for the overthrow of capitalist societies, where the wealthy (bourgeoisie) own production and benefit from workers' labor. Marx argues that history is driven by class struggles and that capitalism inevitably leads to inequality and exploitation. He calls for a classless society where resources and means of production are shared collectively. The manifesto envisions a future where workers unite to establish socialism, ultimately leading to a stateless, egalitarian society, aiming to improve conditions for the working class and eliminate class divisions.
