The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels is one of the most important political documents of the world. It was published as the platform of the Communist League, a workingmen's association, first exclusively German, later on international, and, under the political conditions of the Continent before 1848, unavoidably a secret society. Drawn up in German, in January, 1848, the manuscript was sent to the printer in London a few weeks before the French revolution of February 24. In Friedrich Engels own words, this book which is destined to do for history what Darwins theory has done for Biology. The general principles laid down in this Manifesto are, on the whole, as correct to-day as ever.The book explains the material conception of history and presents their theories and ideas of how socialism would replace the capitalist society of the time. The book summarise the communism based on incidences. A must read book for all.
