The Communist Manifesto"When 'The communist manifesto' was first published in 1848, no one-even its authors-could have forseen the enormous impact it would have on the history of the twentieth century, and continues to have in parts of the world today. Mark and Engel's landmark manifesto sets out in explosive and unrelenting terms, the theory of class struggle. It condemns the exploitation of the working class, and predicts a revolution that will overthrow the ruling class, abolsih private property and in doing so, obliterate the values of capitalism. Capitalism, of course, remains intact in almost every corner of today's world. but Marxism, too endured and evolved, provoking debate and inciting revolutions, even dividing whole nations, over a hundred years later."--Jacket. |
