«Il manifesto del Partito Comunista» is the political manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, published by Laterza in paperback (135 pages, in Italian).
Written in 1848, this text starts from the idea that history is the history of class struggle. Marx and Engels describe the rise of the bourgeoisie and the formation of the proletariat, and defend the need for a revolution that abolishes private property and puts an end to social classes.
The edition is from 1999, belongs to the Economica Laterza collection and includes a translation by Domenico Losurdo.
For readers interested in political philosophy, theory of ideologies and the history of Marxist thought.
Karl Marx was a German philosopher, social and political theorist, and revolutionary socialist. He developed the theory of historical materialism, analysing societal structure and change, particularly class struggle under capitalism, and predicting the system's ultimate replacement by communism. Marx co-authored The Communist Manifesto (1848) with Friedrich Engels, and undertook a critique of classical political economy in his magnum opus, Das Kapital (1867–1894). His ideas and their later development, collectively known as Marxism, have had enormous influence on intellectual, political, and social history, and have inspired revolutionary movements in many countries.
