"A specter is haunting Europe-the specter of communism." (The opening line in "The Communist Manifesto" written with Friedrich Engels.)"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." (The first line of Section I of "The Communist Manifesto" written with Friedrich Engels.)"Workingmen of all countries, unite." (The final sentence in "The Communist Manifesto" written with Friedrich Engels )"From each according to his capacity, to each according to his need." (The motto of true communism from "Critique of the Gotha Programme")"Religion is the opium of the people." (In "Gesamtausgabe" by Marx and Engels) Note: Marx did not say "Religion is the opiate of the masses," even though they can be read as meaning the same thing.

Friedrich Engels died on August 5, 1895 at the age of 74.
Marx and Engels identified five stages of development in their theory of historical materialism: Primitive communism, slave society, feudalism, capitalism, and communism. They believed that each stage represented a particular mode of production, with class struggles driving the transition from one stage to the next. According to Marx and Engels, capitalism would eventually give way to communism, where private ownership of the means of production would be abolished, leading to a classless society.
