Karl Marx

Friedich Engels

The Communist Manifesto is one of the most important political texts in history. Its stirring and even poetic language helped it become a vital document in the spread of socialist ideas. Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels argued that exploitation and suffering will not end until the whole class structure, which ensures people are treated as profitable commodities, is destroyed. Marx’s Das Capital provides the theory behind socialism, but it was The Communist Manifesto that sparked revolutions. This collectible, hard-back edition of The Communist Manifesto includes an insightful introduction by series editor and self-help expert Tom Butler-Bowdon, and is an important addition to the bestselling Capstone Classics. The Communist Manifesto: The Political Classic is a must-have for readers interested in political history, and will be of great value to everyone interested in the key questions of radical politics today.

The Communist Manifesto

A criticism noted by Tom Butler-Bowdon in the introduction 

Luke Halliday 

"humans constantly need higher aims in order to live meaningful lives; just having enough to eat is not sufficient. That is perhaps the biggest criticism of communism: it misunderstood, or did not fully account for, human nature."
