    The Communist Manifesto

    The Communist Manifesto is a pamphlet written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and is recognized as one of the most important and influential political documents in the world. It became one of the principal programmatic statements of the European socialist and communist parties in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is an analysis of the class struggle and the conflicts of capitalism and capitalist mode of production and examines the history from the age of feudalism to 19th-century capitalism. This manifesto became the outline of the beliefs of the Communist movement. The authors believe that Capital has stolen away from the work of the artisan and peasant by building up factories to produce goods cheaply. But the efficiency of Capital depends on the wage laborers who staff the factories and how little they will accept in order to have work. If workers unite in a class struggle against the bourgeois, using riots and strikes as weapons, they will eventually overthrow the bourgeois and replace them as a ruling class. The last paragraph of the manifesto called for the "forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions."

    Friedrich Engels

    Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) was, like Karl Marx, a German philosopher, historian, political theorist, journalist and revolutionary socialist. Unlike Marx, Engels was born to a wealthy family, but he used his family's money to spread his philosophy of empowering workers, exposing what he saw as the bourgeoisie's sinister motives and encouraging the working class to rise up and demand their rights. He wrote several works in collaboration with Marx - most famously "The Communist Manifesto" - and supported Marx financially after he was forced to relocate to London. Following Marx's death, Engels compiled the second and third volumes of Das Kapital, ensuring that this seminal document would live on. He continued writing for the rest of his life and died in London in 1894.
