The communist manifesto

"The Communist Manifesto is one of the most important political texts in history. Its stirring and even poetic language helped it become a vital document in the spread of socialist ideas. [The author] argued that exploitation and suffering will not end until the whole class structure, which ensures people are treated as profitable commodities, is destroyed. Marx's Das Capital provides the theory behind socialism, but it was The Communist Manifesto that sparked revolutions."--Adapted from publisher description.
