The Communist Manifesto

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

Throughout history, the struggle between ruling classes and their subordinates has been a defining characteristic of humanity. This conflict has reached its climax in the subjugation of the working class by the capitalist bourgeoisie. The goal of the communists is to unite workers across the globe and seize political power by transforming the methods of production. Workers from all corners of the world should come together! It is only through global solidarity that we can break free from the shackles that bind us to the factories and the wealthy capitalists who own them. The bourgeoisie have never acted in our best interests and they will never willingly relinquish their control over the working class. It falls upon us to stand in unity against our oppressors through revolutionary measures.
