The Communist Manifesto Marx Karl, Engels Friedrich Oxford University Press

"The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Working men of all countries, unite!" • When The Communist Manifesto was published in 1848 by two little-known German philosophers, no one could have expected the explosive effect it would have on world history. In it, Marx and Engels condemned the bourgeoisie's exploitation of the working class and predicted a revolution that would abolish private property, overthrow the bourgeoisie, and end with the collapse of capitalism • This edition is the first English translation of The Communist Manifesto overseen by Friedrich Engels himself

The Communist Manifesto is a timeless classic providing intelligent insight into socialism, communism and today’s group identity politics • This pocket edition includes a new introduction by the economist and bestselling author of Adults in the Room, Yanis Varoufakis • The Communist Manifesto was first published in London in 1848, by two young men in their late twenties. Its impact reverberated across the globe and throughout the next century, and it has come to be recognised as one of the most important political texts ever written. Maintaining that the history of all societies is a history of class struggle, the manifesto proclaims that communism is the only route to equality, and is a call to action aimed at the proletariat. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand our modern political landscape

A rousing call to arms whose influence is still felt today, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels' The Communist Manifesto is edited with an introduction by Gareth Stedman-Jones in Penguin Classics • Marx and Engels's revolutionary summons to the working classes, The Communist Manifesto is one of the most important political theories ever formulated. After four years of collaboration, they produced an incisive account of their idea of Communism, in which they envisage a society without classes, private property or a state, arguing that the exploitation of industrial workers will eventually lead to a revolution in which Capitalism is overthrown. This vision provided the theoretical basis of political systems in Russia, China, Cuba and Eastern Europe, affecting the lives of millions

Призрак бродит по Европе (и по всему миру). В двадцать первом веке это не призрак коммунизма, а призрак капитализма. Предсказание Маркса о том, что государство исчезнет само по себе, оказалось неточным, и он не предвидел тираний, которые правили большими частями земного шара от его имени. Действительно, он был бы потрясен, если бы стал их свидетелем. Но его анализ зол и опасностей сырьевого капитализма сейчас так же верен, как и тогда, когда он был написан, и некоторые из его предложений (прогрессивный подоходный налог, отмена детского труда, бесплатное образование для всех детей) теперь принимаются без особых вопросов. В мире, где капитализм больше не сдерживается страхом перед коммунистической альтернативой, "Манифест Коммунистической партии" (где социализм утопичен и научен, краткое и ясное изложение марксистской мысли Энгельсом) является необходимым чтением
