English The Communist Manifesto Translation of: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei Allen Lutins and Jim Tarzia "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels is a political pamphlet written in the mid-19th century, during a period of significant social and industrial upheaval. This influential work addresses the struggles between different social classes, specifically between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class), advocating for the overthrow of the capitalist system and the establishment of a classless society. It is widely regarded as a foundational text for modern socialist and communist movements. In the manifesto, Marx and Engels introduce their theory of historical materialism, positing that all of history is defined by class struggles. They discuss the emergence of the bourgeoisie from feudal society and its role in modern industry, which has led to the exploitation and alienation of the proletariat. The document outlines the inevitable conflicts that arise from this relationship, calling for the workers of the world to unite and seize control over the means of production. Ultimately, the manifesto argues for the abolition of private property and advocates for revolutionary actions to liberate the working class from oppression, emphasizing that the proletariat has nothing to lose but their chains.
