Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels - The Communist Manifesto (1888) BOURGEOIS = capitalist class &
PROLETARIANS = working class
The Communist Manifesto, authored by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848, is a pivotal work in the history of political thought. Born out of the tumultuous industrialization of 19th-century Europe, it elucidates the central tenets of communism and offers a scathing critique of capitalism.
The manifesto hinges on the concept of class struggle, asserting that society is shaped by the perpetual conflict between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class). It denounces capitalism as inherently exploitative, with the wealthy bourgeoisie accumulating resources while the proletariat faces economic inequality and alienation.
Marx and Engels propose communism as a remedy, envisioning a classless society marked by collective ownership of the means of production. Their call for a proletarian revolution, the overthrow of the bourgeoisie, and a global uprising of the working class set the stage for a radical transformation of society. Their ideas continue to be scrutinized, debated, and adapted by scholars and activists worldwide, leaving an enduring legacy in the realm of political philosophy and social change.
