Sneak Peak ‘The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary re-constitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.’ Synopsis The Communist Manifesto was originally a pamphlet outlining Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels' worldview and outlining the principles of dialectical materialism. According to them, labor generates wealth, and thus capitalism is exploitative and antithetical to liberty. This is one of the most influential political documents in the world because it analyzes the class struggles generated by capitalism and its mode of production in comparison to possible future forms of communism. Through this document, Engels and Marx stated that the capitalist society of their time would eventually be supplanted by socialism. The authors state in this document that it is necessary to forcibly overthrow all existing social conditions; thus, this document served as a rallying cry for communist revolutions worldwide.
