Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Communist Manifesto is a political treatise written by Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx in 1848. It is one of the most influential works in the history of political thought and is considered the foundation of communist ideology. The book discusses the class struggle between the bourgeoisie (the owners of the means of production) and the proletariat (the working class) and argues that the capitalist system is inherently exploitative and oppressive. The authors propose a revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist system and the establishment of a socialist society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the people. The book also includes a historical analysis of the development of capitalism and the role of the state in perpetuating class inequality. The Communist Manifesto has been translated into numerous languages and has had a profound impact on political movements and revolutions around the world.The Communists, therefore, are on the one hand, practically, the most advanced and resolute section of the working-class parties of every country, that section which pushes forward all others; on the other hand, theoretically, they have over the great mass of the proletariat the advantage of clearly understanding the line of march, the conditions, and the ultimate general results of the proletarian movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
