Manifesto of the Communist Party
The Manifesto of the Communist Party was written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels at the request of the Communist League and published in London in February 1848, on the eve of revolutions across Europe. Its opening section, on bourgeois and proletarians, presents history as a history of class struggle and describes the revolutionary achievements and inner contradictions of capitalism. The second sets out the aims of the communists, the third criticizes rival forms of socialism, and the last defines the communists' position toward other opposition parties, closing with the call for the workers of all countries to unite. Few political pamphlets have been read so widely. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
