O manifesto do partido comunista

De Friedrich Engels e Karl Marx

Esta é "a obra mais difundida e mais internacional de toda a literatura socialista, o programa comum de milhões de operários de todos os países, da Sibéria à Califórnia", escreve Engels no prefácio à edição alemã de 1890. Seus princípios nortearam a ação de inumeráveis organizações políticas, inspiraram revoluções e incorporaram-se à cultura política do mundo contemporâneo.

Friedrich Engels

Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) was, like Karl Marx, a German philosopher, historian, political theorist, journalist and revolutionary socialist. Unlike Marx, Engels was born to a wealthy family, but he used his family's money to spread his philosophy of empowering workers, exposing what he saw as the bourgeoisie's sinister motives and encouraging the working class to rise up and demand their rights. He wrote several works in collaboration with Marx - most famously "The Communist Manifesto" - and supported Marx financially after he was forced to relocate to London. Following Marx's death, Engels compiled the second and third volumes of Das Kapital, ensuring that this seminal document would live on. He continued writing for the rest of his life and died in London in 1894.
