The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels...the text behind most of the world's revolutions. A revolutionary political pamphlet that analyzed the class struggle and the problems of capitalism.
It became one of the most important political documents ever, and was the inspiration for many revolutions around the world. The statement remained a basic reference for communists over the years, and one of its guides for the Russian revolution. The manifesto aimed to explain the new communist beliefs, concluding that capitalism did not offer humanity the possibility of self-realization, but instead ensured that humans would be permanently stunted.
