Explain The Communist Manifesto in short words
The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848, is a political pamphlet arguing that history is driven by class struggle. It claims capitalism exploits workers (proletariat) for the benefit of owners (bourgeoisie), predicting a worker revolution will abolish private property and create a classless, equal society.
