The Communist Manifesto Friedrich Engels

The Communist Manifesto, also known as the Manifesto of the Communist Party, was written in 1847 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. In this enlightening and revolutionary text, the two authors draw attention to the fatal consequences of capitalism and the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie and thus explain large parts of the world view later called Marxism. The book was intended as a combat program of the Communist League and ends with the famous phrase "proletarians of all countries, unite!"With its timeless content, the manifesto has repeatedly managed to point out grievances and problems in society and to sharpen the critical eye of its readers. For this reason, it is one of the best-selling books in human history and continues to be very popular.
