Description
With its message of working-class empowerment and call for unity, The Communist Manifesto endures as one of history’s most influential, visionary, and controversial documents. Intending to rouse readers from their indifference, authors Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels demanded the end of proletariat exploitation and called for the overthrow of the oppressive bourgeois ruling class. It was a blueprint for an uncompromising new direction that would serve as the spark for the socialist uprising in the late 1800s.
Today, The Communist Manifesto reverberates fully and fittingly in the polarized political climate of the twenty-first century.
Revised edition: Previously published as The Communist Manifesto, this edition of The Communist Manifesto (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
