After four years of collaboration, the authors produced this incisive declaration of their idea of Communism, in which they envisage a society without classes, private property or a state. They argue that increasing exploitation of industrial workers will eventually lead to a revolution in which Capitalism is overthrown. This vision provided the theoretical basis of political systems in Russia, China, Cuba and Eastern Europe, affecting the lives of millions.\u003ci\u003eThe Communist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e still remains a landmark text: a work that continues to influence and provoke debate on capitalism and class. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

After military training in Berlin, Engels already a convert to communism, went to Manchester in 1842 to represent the family firm.

His collaboration with Marx began in 1844 and in 1847 he composed the first drafts of the \u003ci\u003eCommunist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e.
