The Communist Manifesto

Working men of all countries, unite! 
First published in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is one of the most influential pieces of writing of all time. Written by two leading German philosophers whose names are now universally known, The Communist Manifesto is a documentation of class struggle and the plight of workers under capitalism, and a call for redress.
In it, Marx and Engels lay out a searing account of the damage wrought by capitalism, and set out a route towards an alternative: a society without class, private property or a state. Beating a path for revolution and the overthrow of capitalism, The Communist Manifesto is a stirring call to arms that resounds with truth and power today.

Karl Heinrich Marx (1818-83) was a German philosopher, historian and revolutionary. He is best remembered today for The Communist Manifesto and his four-volume Das Kapital.
