    About this audiobook

    The Communist Manifesto was conceived as an outline of the basic beliefs of the Communist movement. The authors believed that the European powers were universally afraid of the nascent movement, and were condemning as "Communist" people or activities that did not actually conform to what the Communists believed. This manifesto, then, became a manual for their beliefs.

    In it we find Marx and Engels' rehearsal of the idea that Capital has stolen away the work of the artisan and peasant by building up factories to produce goods cheaply. The efficiency of Capital depends, then, on the wage laborers who staff the factories and how little they will accept in order to have work. This concentrates power and money in a bourgeois class that profits from the disunity of workers (proletarians), who only receive a subsistence wage.

    If workers unite in a class struggle against the bourgeois, using riot and strikes as weapons, they will eventually overthrow the bourgeois and replace them as a ruling class. Communists further believe in and lay out a system of reforms to transform into a classless, stateless society, thus distinguishing themselves from various flavors of socialism, which would be content to have workers remain the ruling class after the revolution.

    The manifesto caused a huge amount of discussion for its support for a forcible overthrow of the existing politics and society...

    Karl Marx

    Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, historian, political theorist, journalist and revolutionary socialist. Born in Prussia, he received his doctorate in philosophy at the University of Jena in Germany and became an ardent follower of German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Marx was already producing political and social philosophic works when he met Friedrich Engels in Paris in 1844. The two became lifelong colleagues and soon collaborated on "The Communist Manifesto," which they published in London in 1848. Expelled from Belgium and Germany, Marx moved to London in 1849 where he continued organizing workers and produced (among other works) the foundational political document Das Kapital. A hugely influential and important political philosopher and social theorist, Marx died stateless in 1883 and was buried in Highgate Cemetery in London.

      The Communist Manifesto remains a foundational text for understanding the origins and goals of the communist movement. Its powerful critique of capitalism and vision of a classless society continue to provoke debate and inspire political activism to this day.
    • 5/5
      Despite its initial reception, "The Communist Manifesto" went on to become one of the most widely read and influential political texts in history. It inspired numerous socialist and communist movements around the world, shaping the course of 20th-century history.
    • 5/5
      Marx and Engels emphasize the importance of international solidarity among workers and the need for a global revolution to achieve communism.
    • 5/5
      The Manifesto ends with a call to action, urging workers of the world to unite and overthrow the capitalist system. It outlines a series of immediate demands to advance the interests of the working class, such as progressive taxation, free education, and the abolition of child labor.
    • 5/5
      They assert that capitalism, characterized by private ownership of the means of production and exploitation of labor, is inherently unstable and will inevitably lead to its own downfall. They predict that the proletariat, as the exploited class, will rise up in revolution against the bourgeoisie, leading to the establishment of a classless society—communism.
    • 5/5
      The Manifesto begins with the famous opening line: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." Marx and Engels argue that throughout history, societies have been divided into antagonistic classes—those who own the means of production (bourgeoisie) and those who sell their labor power (proletariat).
    • 5/5
      The mid-19th century was a period of significant social, economic, and political upheaval in Europe. Industrialization was transforming societies, creating new social classes and exacerbating inequalities. Marx and Engels wrote the Manifesto against this backdrop of social change and revolutionary fervor.

      You are not part of life ..
      But you are the life itself and without you ..
      The Creator himself will not be perfect and perfect ..
      Because you are a ray of his light .. The imprint of his love shines in your heart
      And here, and whatever your circumstances, it is just a dark station that you are temporarily moving towards a luminous station that satisfies you ... But ... if you hate your situation and blame anything else, then you will deny yourself the best improvement that awaits you.
      So stop it ..
      Stop that ..
      Stop that ..

      All that you lived or lived is preparing you for what is better and coming towards you ..
      So seek to rest ..
      And change the way you perceive your current situation and search for its positives and repeat thinking about it until it moves you to the best ..
      Change your awareness ..
      Change how you view your circumstances in a more positive way.
      Change your perception of reality towards more positive ..
      Because you are important
      Yes, you are important
      More important and important than what they tell you ..
      You are important and you deserve the best, because you participated in making a better situation through your life, so rest.
      And chill out ..
      And please yourself, because it is your connection with the Creator of the universes.
      And seek feelings of contentment and pleasure by doing anything that interests you, because those feelings are evidence of your movement towards the better.
      Please yourself ..
      Satisfy yourself.
      Make yourself happy ..
      Whatever you desire
      And do what you desire
      After a few days, you will see that your situation is better.
      You are the most important in your world ..
      You are the most important in your life
      You are the most important in everything that exists.
      You are the love that seeks to shine for itself and those around it.
      You are the joy that seeks to shine for itself and those around it.
      You are the good that seeks to shine for itself and those around it.
      Rejoice ... rejoice
      Smile .. yes smile ..
      And just as the light of stars does not erase the lights of the earth, it remains shining in space .. Likewise, your position will not erase your coming happiness towards you .. and this is the promise of promises ..
      Good is coming towards you ..
      Greet him ..
      Embrace him
      Smile every morning toward the mirror of life and you will see a picture of your smile returning to you from life ... as joys
      As happiness ..

      Excelente audio libro. escuchenlo. realmente yo pienso que los comunistas creen y establecen un sistema de reformas para transformarse en una sociedad sin clases y sin estado, distinguiéndose así de varios sabores del socialismo, que se contentarían con que los trabajadores sigan siendo la clase dominante después de la revolución. La eficiencia del capital depende, entonces, de los trabajadores asalariados que trabajan en las fábricas y de lo poco que aceptarán para tener trabajo.
