'''''The Communist Manifesto''''' is a [[Marxism|Marxist]] screed published by [[Karl Marx]] and [[Friedrich Engels]] in 1848. Originally written in Marx's native language German, it lays the foundation for Marxist thinking, teaching that [[class]] struggles are the origin of all progress in society. This concept of conflict between the classes dictates Marxism's adherence to the [[evolution]]ary theory of [[punctuated equilibrium]], which accords with Marxist social beliefs. | '''''The Communist Manifesto''''' is a [[Marxism|Marxist]] screed published by [[Karl Marx]] and [[Friedrich Engels]] in 1848.
