{{Infobox book| image = Communistmanifesto.jpg| caption = Translated by Samuel Moore| author = [[Karl Marx]] and [[Friedrich Engels]]| language = German| yearpublished = 1848}}'''''The Communist Manifesto''''' is a [[Marxism|Marxist]] creed screed published by [[Karl Marx]] and [[Friedrich Engels]] in 1848. It 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 clashes and the struggle conflict between the classes dictates Marxism's adherence to the evolutionary [[evolution]]ary theory of [[punctuated equilibrium]], which accords with their Marxist social beliefs. The manifesto outlines the theory of [[communism]], in which the poor working class ([[proletariat]]s) 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. ==See also==* [[Marxism]]* [[Communism]]* [[Text of The Communist Manifesto]] ==External links==* [https://librivox.org/the-communist-manifesto-by-karl-marx-and-friendrich-engels/ The Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels - free audio] - [[LibriVox]]
