The Manifesto of the Communist Party

The Manifesto of the Communist Party, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, is a political document outlining the goals and principles of communism. It argues that society is divided into classes—rich capitalists (bourgeoisie) and workers (proletariat)—whose conflict drives history. The manifesto advocates for the working class to unite and overthrow capitalist systems, leading to a classless society where resources are shared equitably. It calls for revolutionary change to abolish capitalism, promote collective ownership of production, and establish a society based on equality and solidarity.
