Preferred term

Communist Manifesto  

Definition(s)

  • By Karl Marx (1818–1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820–1895), the Communist Manifesto was first published in February 1848 and is reportedly the world's most widely read book after the Bible. Marx and Engels had been involved with the left-wing Young Hegelian movement in Berlin but came to reject its view that human freedom could be won by changing people's ideas (including their acceptance of alienating religious doctrines) rather than addressing the material realities underlying them. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Communist Manifesto]
