‘Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries unite!’ Karl Marx The Communist Manifesto came to be a widely read and the most influential text ever written; it became one of the most important political documents of the world. Marx and Engels presented how in due course of time, socialism would end up replacing the prevailing capitalist society. This monumental text discusses communists’ theory of history and their relationship between the proletarians and the bourgeoisie. ‘Workers of the world, unite!’ emerged as the political slogan of The Communist Manifesto. The book, originally published in 1848 in German, has been banned numerous times and yet remains politically relevant across all times, continuing right from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century.
