What if the system that creates wealth also creates the forces that challenge it?

In The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels place class struggle at the centre of history. Writing for the Communist League, they set out an argument about owners and wage earners: how modern society takes shape, why it divides people, and why workers may organise against those who rule.

This 1848 pamphlet is part history, part argument, part battle cry. Marx and Engels praise capitalism’s power to transform society while arguing that it prepares its own downfall. They explain what communists want, answer objections, and challenge rival socialists. Read it to encounter their claims directly, rather than through what others say about them.
