Synopsis
The Communist Manifestois, perhaps surprisingly, a most engaging and accessible work, containing even the odd shaft of humour in this translation by Samuel Moore for the 1888 English edition. It is, of course, an essential introduction to the thoughts and theories of Karl Marx and his collaborator and editor Friedrich Engels and therefore to the development of communism. This brief but iconoclastic work, essentially a pamphlet, covers the history of the bourgeoisie, aspects of 'class struggle' with descriptions and analyses of numerous workers' parties and movements up to the 1840s. It predicts and elaborates upon the defeat of capitalism and communism's ultimate global victory. Written over 150 years ago it pulsates with energy, insight and contemporary relevance, ending with the rallying cry, 'Workers of the World Unite.'
