 "The Communist Manifesto," a seminal political document written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Published in 1848, the manifesto outlines the principles and goals of the Communist League, advocating for the overthrow of the existing capitalist system and the establishment of a classless society based on the principles of socialism and communism.

The opening lines, "Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries unite!" are a call to action for the working class (proletarians) to rise up against their oppressors (the ruling classes) and join together in a global revolution to overthrow the capitalist system.

The manifesto discusses the historical development of societies and the inevitable struggle between the bourgeoisie (the capitalist class) and the proletarians (the working class). Marx and Engels argue that capitalism creates inherent contradictions and class struggles, leading to the eventual downfall of the capitalist system and the rise of socialism and communism.

The famous political slogan, "Workers of the world, unite!" embodies the central idea of the manifesto, emphasizing the need for solidarity and collective action among workers across different countries to achieve their common goals.

"The Communist Manifesto" has been influential in shaping the course of history and inspiring various socialist and communist movements worldwide. Despite facing bans and criticism over the years, it remains a significant and relevant text that continues to be studied and discussed in contemporary political discourse.

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, political economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, communist, and revolutionary, whose ideas played a significant role in the development of modern communism. Marx summarized his approach in the first line of chapter one of The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." Marx argued that capitalism, like previous socioeconomic systems, would inevitably produce internal tensions which would lead to its destruction. Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, he believed socialism would, in its turn, replace capitalism, and lead to a stateless, classless society called pure communism. This would emerge after a transitional period called the "dictatorship of the proletariat": a period sometimes referred to as the "workers state" or "workers' democracy". In section one of The Communist Manifesto Marx describes feudalism, capitalism, and the role internal social contradictions play in the historical process: We see then: the means of production and of exchange, on whose foundation the bourgeoisie built itself up, were generated in feudal society. At a certain stage in the development of these means of production and of exchange, the conditions under which feudal society produced and exchanged...the feudal relations of property became no longer compatible with the already developed productive forces; they became so many fetters. They had to be burst asunder; they were burst asunder. Into their place stepped free competition, accompanied by a social and political constitution adapted in it, and the economic and political sway of the bourgeois class. A similar movement is going on before our own eyes.... The productive forces at the disposal of society no longer tend to further the development of the conditions of bourgeois property; on the contrary, they have become too powerful for these conditions, by which they are fettered, and so soon as they overcome these fetters, they bring order into the whole of bourgeois society, endanger the existence of bourgeois property.Marx argued for a systemic understanding of socio-economic change.
