The Communist Manifesto

Manifesto of the Communist Party (German:
Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei), often referred to as The
Communist Manifesto, was first published on February 21, 1848, and is
one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. Commissioned by the
Communist League and written by communist theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich
Engels, it laid out the League's purposes and program. The Manifesto
suggested a course of action for a proletarian (working class) revolution to
overthrow the bourgeois social order and to eventually bring about a classless
and stateless society, and the abolition of private property.
