Ebook: Manifesto of the Communist Party ; Principles of Communism

The Manifesto of the Communist Party is the greatest programmatic document of scientific communism. “This little booklet is worth whole volumes: to this day its spirit inspires and guides the entire organised and fighting proletariat of the civilised world.” (V. I. Lenin, “Frederick Engels,” Collected Works, Eng. ed., FLPH, Moscow, 1960, Vol. II, p. 24.)
Principles of Communism is a brief 1847 work written by Frederick Engels, the co-founder of Marxism. It is structured as a catechism, containing 25 questions about communism for which answers are provided. In writing the Manifesto, the founders of Marxism made use of propositions enunciated in Principles of Communism.
