The Communist Manifesto
First published on February 21, 1848, The Communist Manifesto is a seminal work in communist theory. The manuscript was written primarily (and some say exclusively) by Marx and co-authored by Friedrich Engels. The manuscript outlines a plan-of-action for the workers to establish a classless society in which there is no private property. The central argument of the manuscript is a plea to the workers to unite and overthrow the capitalist social and economic structure. -
