First published in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is one of the most influential political and philosophical texts in modern history. Written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it presents a materialist analysis of society, examining class struggle, capitalism, and the historical forces shaping economic and social relations. The manifesto outlines the theory of communism, critiques bourgeois society, and argues for the revolutionary role of the working class. Though brief, the work has had a lasting global impact on political movements, economic thought, and ideological debate. This text remains essential reading for those interested in political philosophy, economics, history, and social theory.
