The Communist Manifesto<\/b><\/i>\u00a0(originally\u00a0Manifesto of the Communist Party<\/b><\/i>) is an 1848 political pamphlet by German philosophers\u00a0Karl Marx<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Friedrich Engels<\/a>. Commissioned by the\u00a0Communist League<\/a>\u00a0and originally published in London (in German as\u00a0Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei<\/i>) just as the\u00a0revolutions of 1848<\/a>\u00a0began to erupt, the\u00a0Manifesto<\/i>was later recognised as one of the world’s most influential political documents. It presents an analytical approach to the\u00a0class struggle<\/a>\u00a0(historical and then-present) and the conflicts of capitalism and the capitalist mode of production, rather than a prediction of communism’s potential future forms.<\/p>\n

The Communist Manifesto<\/i>\u00a0summarises Marx and Engels’ theories concerning the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles”. It also briefly features their ideas for how the\u00a0capitalist<\/a>\u00a0society of the time would eventually be replaced by\u00a0socialism<\/a>. Near the end of the Manifesto, the authors call for “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions”, which served as the justification for all communist revolutions around the world.<\/p>\n

In 2013,\u00a0The Communist Manifesto<\/i>\u00a0was registered to\u00a0UNESCO<\/a>‘s\u00a0Memory of the World Programme<\/a>\u00a0with the\u00a0Capital, Volume I<\/a><\/i>.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

From Addenda:\u00a0 “The first capitalist nation was Italy.\u00a0 The close of the feudal Middle Ages and the opening of the modern capitalist era are marked by a colossal figure:\u00a0 an Italian, Dante, both the last poet of the Middle Ages and the first poet of modern times.\u00a0 Today, as in 1300, a new historical era is approaching.\u00a0 Will Italy give us the new Dante, who will mark the hour of birth of this new proletarian era?<\/strong><\/p>\n
