The Communist Manifesto is a political pamphlet written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848. The document presents an analysis of capitalism and its effects on society, as well as a call for the overthrow of the capitalist system and the establishment of a communist society. The Manifesto begins by describing the historical development of class struggles between the bourgeoisie (the capitalist class) and the proletariat (the working class) in various societies throughout history. Marx and Engels argue that the bourgeoisie emerged as the dominant class in capitalist society, and that they exploit the proletariat by extracting surplus value from their labor. The authors then outline the ways in which the capitalist system creates social and economic inequalities, including poverty, unemployment, and alienation. They argue that these problems can only be solved by the overthrow of the capitalist system and the establishment of a socialist society, in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the working class. Finally, the Manifesto presents a series of ten demands, including the abolition of private property, the establishment of a progressive income tax, and the centralization of credit in the hands of the state. The authors conclude by calling on workers of the world to unite and overthrow their capitalist oppressors, and to establish a classless society based on cooperation and equality.
