"The Communist Manifesto," authored by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, outlines the principles of communism, challenging the existing socio-economic structures prevalent in Europe during the mid-19th century. It critiques capitalism, advocating for a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively. Marx and Engels argue that history is a series of class struggles, culminating in the eventual overthrow of the bourgeoisie by the proletariat. Their work inspired revolutions, shaped political ideologies, and ignited debates on social justice and economic equality globally.
