«Manifiesto comunista» is the political manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The text, originally published in 1848 as a pamphlet, argues that the history of societies is the history of class struggle. Marx and Engels call on the proletariat to organize and overthrow bourgeois rule, proposing the abolition of private property in favor of a communist order. Over time it has become a classic of political thought.
Part of the El libro de bolsillo - Ciencias sociales collection, number 14. Edited by Pedro Ribas, with introduction, translation from German, notes and glossary.
Aimed at the general reader with an interest in political philosophy and the Marxist tradition.
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.
