Manifesto of the Communist Party

This work presents a materialist analysis of history and society, arguing that economic modes of production determine political and intellectual life and that human history unfolds through recurring class struggles between exploiting and exploited groups. It describes how capitalist development creates a dominant bourgeoisie and an expanding working class whose exploitation produces periodic crises and transnational economic ties. Communists are depicted as a political tendency that interprets these dynamics, advocates collective ownership of the means of production, and proposes measures to dismantle class privileges while reorganizing production and state institutions. The text culminates in a call for working-class solidarity and revolutionary transformation to end class domination.
