*The Communist Manifesto* (officially *Manifesto of the Communist Party*) is a groundbreaking political work by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, first published in 1848 amidst the revolutionary upheavals sweeping Europe. Written for the Communist League, this manifesto has become one of the most influential political documents in history.

The manifesto provides a thorough analysis of class struggle, both in historical and contemporary contexts, and critiques the capitalist system of production. Rather than speculating about the future of Communism, it focuses on the dynamics of capitalism and the conditions that would lead to socialism and eventually Communism. In the words of its authors, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."

A must-read classic, this essential text continues to inspire and challenge readers around the world.
