The Communist Manifesto

The Communist Manifesto
by Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels

"The greatest charter of our movement."
---Rosa Luxemburg

"An integral and systematic exposition of [Marx's] doctrine . . . the best to this day."
---Lenin

"Laid the foundation for modern socialism."
---Karl Kautsky

"[A] model philosophy of history . . . cannot be corrected."
---Arturo Labriola

Over 150 years after its publication, Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto continues to inspire and provoke students, activists and citizens.

The principles embodied within in it lie at the heart of thousands of academic and literary works. It is the starting point for millions of people who refuse to accept that capitalism represents the final and optimum stage of human development. After reading this book, it is impossible to remain convinced that There Is no alternative to unrestrained neoliberalism and difficult to claim that there is anything more crucial than finding one.
