The Communist Manifesto

Commissioned by the Communist League, this influential 1848 pamphlet by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels outlines the principles of communism and critiques capitalist society. Published in London amid the upheaval of the Revolutions of 1848, it argues for the working class's role in overthrowing capitalist systems. The document has since become a cornerstone of political thought, shaping discussions on class struggle and social change worldwide.
