The Communist Manifesto (book)
The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848, is a political pamphlet that advocates for the overthrow of capitalist societies. It argues that history is driven by class struggles between the bourgeoisie (owners of means of production) and the proletariat (working class). Marx and Engels call for a revolutionary change into a classless society where resources and power are shared equally. The manifesto outlines how capitalism leads to inequality and exploitation, urging workers worldwide to unite and establish a society based on communal ownership and social justice.
