Description: <p>Perhaps the most influential and widely read political work of the 19th century, <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/karl-marx_friedrich-engels">Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’</a> <i>The Manifesto of the Communist Party</i> succinctly lays out the political theory and history of class struggle.</p>
			<p>Following a short introduction, the <i>Manifesto</i> develops over four short chapters, discussing the historical background of class struggle, the relationship of Communists with other socialist and working class movements, a critical review of other contemporary socialist literature and thinking, and finally a brief summary of the Communist position related to the contemporary political situations in various European countries, concluding with the rousing call-to-arms, “Workingmen of all countries unite!”</p>
			<p>This edition, translated by Samuel Moore, includes Engels’ own Preface and footnote annotations written for the English edition of 1888.</p>
