The Communist Manifesto
(Karl Marx and Friederich Engels)
Marx wrote his comunist manifesto in Europe in 1848, in a totally revolutionary moment in history, where the revolutionary flanks of each country were beating the restoration an absolutism. In this work Marx unfolds all his political theories and his expectations regarding the evolution of capitalism. He explains how capitalism appeared and his development and expansion throughout the world. This way he explains how the exploitation of men by other men, of work by capital, arrives at every culture and goes through all societies. From this point, Marx stand is "Workers of the world, unite!". His vision is - as it's been traditionally qualified - utopic. He postulates that capitalism must evolve in a way that it will dissolute the State and class society. For this the necessary means are the peasant revolution and the conquest of power by force. Once the peasants take control of the means of work, the would be able to give birth to a progressive revolution, reaching the utopic socialism. The comunist manifesto is really interesting because it sets an excellent panorama and description of the economic and political situation of the time and also predcts certain shifts that ended up happening in capitalism within the time. This work was written to set the ideological basis of the communist party founded by Marx and Engels
