The German Marxist political philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote a brief book in 1848 titled The Communist Manifesto, which was originally published under the title Manifesto of the Communist Party. Since then, it has been acknowledged as one of the most important political texts ever written. It outlined the goals and strategy of the Communist League, for which it was commissioned. Instead of speculating on possible future manifestations of communism, it presents an analytical approach to the issues surrounding capitalism and the ongoing class struggle. It is a must-read for anyone wishing to learn about the ideology of communism and the philosophy behind it.
