Born in November 28, 1820 ,Friedrich Engels was a German philosopher, communist, social scientist, journalist, businessman and son of a wealthy bourgeois owner of large textiles factories. Engels co-authored the Manifesto of the Communist party or also known as Communist Manifesto with Marx and also supported him financially.
''Just as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of development of human history: the simple fact, hitherto concealed by an overgrowth of ideology, that mankind must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing, before it can pursue politics, science, art, religion, etc.''
-Friedrich Engels
One of the most influential political, social and economic texts of all time and the most influential one in the 20th century written in 1848 by german philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Karl Marx, the father of both Communism and Socialism wrote alongside with his collaborator Friedrich Engels the Communist Manifesto or the Manifesto of the Communist party which is a document that outlines the progression of Capitalism and the detriments of Capitalism on society and the implementation of Communism as the solution. In the end of the manifesto it is advocated the overthrow of all existing social conditions and for the workers of the world to unite and to seize the means of production to pave way for the transition from Capitalism to Socialism and ultimately to Communism.
"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles".
-Karl Marx
"Accumulation of wealth at one pole is at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental degradation, at the opposite pole." -Karl Marx
Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite! -Karl Marx
One of the most accepted definitions of Communism is the strictly theoretical system imagined by Karl Marx in which all of society, all of economics and all politics are combined into one, perfect, classless, automatic, government-less system based on common ownership of all economic means of production, and social sameness. To achieve this utopian dream, Karl Marx and Frederich Engels wrote the "Communist Manifesto" to inspire violent revolution everywhere.
Communism, as such, does not exist, has never existed, and perhaps may never exist.
Communism has failed so far to fulfill its promise of an egalitarian society based on working-class values.
