Summary

"The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx is a pamphlet from a time of major social change that looks at the battle between the rich and poor classes, pushing for the end of capitalism and a society where everyone is equal. The authors explain their idea that history is shaped by class wars, describing how the wealthy class came from the old feudal system. This system uses and mistreats the working class. The writing says these problems will cause arguments, urging workers to join together and take over how things are made. In the end, it calls for getting rid of personal ownership and encourages revolutionary actions to free the working class from being controlled, saying they have only their restrictions to lose.

About the Author

Karl Marx was a German-born philosopher, political theorist, economist, historian, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. His best-known works are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto and his three-volume Das Kapital (1867–1894); the latter employs his critical approach of historical materialism in an analysis of capitalism, in the culmination of his intellectual endeavours. Marx's ideas and their subsequent development, collectively known as Marxism, have had enormous influence on modern intellectual, economic and political history.
