Why was the 'The Communist Manifesto' written?

Answer 1

Excellent question!

Karl Marx is known as the father of communism. Communist beliefs are also known as Marxist beliefs. Communism is an ideal society in which everything is shared throughout a community (thus, communism). The country must be industrial because the "have nots" must have access to money, all resources are split up evenly among the community so that the community is equal. There are no rich or poor.

The Communist Manifesto was written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles. The Manifesto was published in 1848, written in many different languages. The Manifesto is mainly an outline of communism. Several times, the Manifesto clearly states "Communism is feared all across Europe but never understood." This is true. Communists are still feared today and not understood. They believe in this perfect society which looks good on paper but frankly- some are too willing to have it so they do things they should not. But this can come with any political belief, and Communism is stereotyped as a terrible thing as soon as the word is uttered.

To sum up before this gets into too much detail, the Communist Manifesto of Karl Marx is important because it is the only written record that defines a single political belief in perfect detail. --> Edit: More specifically, he details the ideologies of it, but not so much how it should be specifically implemented.

Answer 3

The Communist Manifesto was a piece of literature published in 1847. The basis of it was the fact that Karl Marx was hungry. Simply that, he was fed up with his meager job and the lack of material possessions while the bourgeoisie got rich off of the production on the foundations of the underpaid and under cared for workers.

Marx actually never intended the Manifesto's revolution to begin in Russia, instead he wanted the revolution to take place in one of the more industrially developed nations at the time (Britain, France, Germany). These governments were under capitalist regimes in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

In addition Marx did not intend for communism, but instead socialism. Communism was an invention by Vladimir Lenin, used by most communist governments today. This is known as Marxist-Leninism.

The differences between Communism and Socialism are also significant as Communism is held by the "conservatives", and socialism is a held belief by the "liberals." Communism is similar to a monarchy in which very few people head the government, ideally the party secretary, whereas Socialism is a economic system in which everyone has a say. Socialism was intended to take hold in democratic states where the transition to Socialism would be a simple change of overthrowing few powerful "capitalist pigs"

Answer 4

The Communist Manifesto was a bit of a rallying cry and summary for thinking men of the time, and for decades to come. The Communist Manifesto put in blunt, simple, straightforward terms, an alternative to the paradigm that had been developed.

Answer 5

Karl Marx had an International Communist Party and he wanted to make a, as we would call it today, a party constitution. He also wanted to define communism in "The Manifesto of the Communist Party".

Answer 6

The purpose of the communist manifesto was to rally European support for communisim. The communist manifesto was to make their views public with the goals and aims of the communist party. The communist manifesto wanted to end class antagonisms. One of the tenants of the manifesto is for communism to overtake the upper class and rise from the lower class. The ultimate goal of the rise of the lower class would be to eliminate the ownership of property.

Answer 7

'The Communist Manifesto' was written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848 to articulate the principles of communism and to inspire and mobilize the working class against the capitalist system. The authors aimed to highlight the social and economic injustices present in the industrialized societies of the time and advocated for a revolutionary overthrow of the bourgeoisie by the proletariat.
