Communist Manifesto
The Communist Manifesto is a book written by Karl Marx and Friederick Engels.
It was written 70 years before the Russian Revolution overturned capitalism. There are many prefixes to it including, the 1872 German Edition, Preface to the 1882 Russian Edition, the 1883 German Edition, Preface to the 1888 English Edition, the 1890 German Edition, the 1892 Polish Edition, and the 1893 Italian Edition. It caused a revolution to arise in Paris, causing a wave of revolutions to spread throughout Europe, and marked the beginning of Marxism. Marx was born in Trier, Germany, in 1818. His family was German Jews. Most of the people in Trier were Catholic, but Marx 's father decided to abandon their Jewish faith and become Protestant in order to keep his job as a lawyer. Marx received his Ph. D. at the University of Berlin. He planned to teach there, but could not obtain a position because he professed Atheism. Marx decided on a career in journalism and became the editor of the Bourgeois newspaper of Cologne in 1842. He was suppressed from the newspaper for his radical views and moved to Paris, where he met Friederick Engels and became life, long friends. In 1847, Marx and Engels joined the Communist League, a tiny group of German socialist revolutionaries. They were advocates of the radical working-class movement. They linked the Communist Manifesto to the struggles of the working class, also known as proletariat, and were destined to play a role in overthrowing capitalism. Marx founded a branch of the Communist League in Brussels, and Engels attended three Paris branches. They were commissioned to draw a treaty that proclaimed their beliefs to the world, also known as the Communist Manifesto. It stated that all me were born free, but society had got to such a state that the majority were in chains. As Europe was in chaos, Marx used this as an advantage
