About this ebook

Perhaps the most influential and widely read political work of the 19th century, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’ The Manifesto of the Communist Party succinctly lays out the political theory and history of class struggle.

Following a short introduction, the Manifesto develops over four short chapters, discussing the historical background of class struggle, the relationship of Communists with other socialist and working class movements, a critical review of other contemporary socialist literature and thinking, and finally a brief summary of the Communist position related to the contemporary political situations in various European countries, concluding with the rousing call-to-arms, “Workingmen of all countries unite!”


This edition, translated by Samuel Moore, includes Engels’ own Preface and footnote annotations written for the English edition of 1888.

Communism was born out of sincere intentions of the proletariat, who has managed to rummage through poverty, to distinguish himself from others of his class and try to find an effective single-pill solution to the ghastly poverty he once found himself in. Sadly, until now, the issue of general poverty and inequality annhialation, it seems, is not so much a question of government, but a personal one as it will command us to give to the most needy in society. We all know that while most "taking" is a common crime, "refusing to give" is purely legal, encouraged, and as a matter of fact crux to most basic forms of any education. Until we learn to share as a matter of due course and survival, it would seem that all aspirations of man, however wonderful and seemingly noble and all-encompassing and God-considering, shall always hit the ceiling of the entrapmemt of a society still mired in inividual self-interest, and these aspirations scatter and fall into piesces with reckless abandon.
