The Communist Manifesto was written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848. It outlines the theory of communism, in which the poor working class (proletariats) violently overthrow the middle class and government (bourgeois). The Manifesto influenced the Communist Revolution in Russia and elsewhere, leading to the Cold War and numerous atrocities committed throughout Eastern Europe, such as the Holodomor in Ukraine. Currently, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and Laos are widely considered to be communist countries.
