Synopsis

Es uno de los tratados políticos más influyentes de la historia, fue una proclama encargada por la Liga de los Comunistas a Karl Marx y Friedrich Engels entre 1847 y 1848, y publicada por primera vez en Londres el 21 de febrero de 1848. Las ideas que el Manifiesto expresa son las siguientes: La historia política e intelectual de una sociedad está determinada por el modo de producción y la formación socioeconómica que se deriva de él; Una vez aparecidas las clases sociales sobre la base de la propiedad privada y la explotación, la historia de las sociedades ha sido la historia de la lucha de las clases explotadoras y las explotadas; En la actual sociedad moderna el proletariado es la única clase social cuya emancipación significará la emancipación de toda la humanidad mediante la revolución comunista: la abolición de la propiedad burguesa, las clases sociales y el Estado.

About this title

About the Author:

Described as one of the most influential figures in human history, Karl Marx was a German philosopher and economist who wrote extensively on the benefits of socialism and the flaws of free-market capitalism. His most notable works, Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto (the latter of which was co-authored by his collaborator Friedrich Engels), have since become two of history s most important political and economic works. Marxismthe term that has come to define the philosophical school of thought encompassing Marx s ideas about society, politics and economicswas the foundation for the socialist movements of the twentieth century, including Leninism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, and Maoism. Despite the negative reputation associated with some of these movements and with Communism in general, Marx s view of a classless socialist society was a utopian one which did not include the possibility of dictatorship. Greatly influenced by the philosopher G. W. F. Hegel, Marx wrote in radical newspapers from his young adulthood, and can also be credited with founding the philosophy of dialectical materialism. Marx died in London in 1883 at the age of 64.

Friedrich Engels was born in 1820, in the German city of Barmen. He died in London in 1895 while editing the fourth volume of Capital.
