Friedrich Engels

Communist Party Manifesto Friedrich Engels

It is a manifesto commissioned by the League of Communists from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels between 1847 and 1848, and first published in London on February 21, 1848. It is an early text by Marx and Engels, which already reflects the foundations of Marxism, including the materialist conception of history. However, it is still prior to the development of the Marxist economy, as well as to historical events that would render some aspects of the manifesto obsolete, according to Marx and Engels themselves.
