Description
First published in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is a revolutionary text co-authored by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. This seminal work lays the foundation for modern socialist thought, articulating the struggles between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and calling for the overthrow of capitalist systems.
The Story
In a concise yet powerful format, the manifesto outlines the historical development of class struggles, positing that all of history can be understood through the lens of these conflicts. The authors argue that the capitalist system is inherently exploitative, leading to inequality and suffering for the working class. They advocate for a radical restructuring of society, where the means of production are owned communally, thus liberating individuals from the chains of capitalism.
Why Readers Love It

Perfect For
This essential text is ideal for those interested in political philosophy, social theory, and the historical context of revolution.
