The Communist Manifesto by Mark Cowling
A concise, polemical manifesto that analyzes history as the story of class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, argues that industrial capitalism concentrates wealth and produces chronic crises and a dispossessed working class, and calls on workers to unite to overthrow capitalist rule; it exposes bourgeois hypocrisy, explains how capitalism transforms social relations and creates its own gravediggers, and sets out both immediate measures (progressive taxation, abolition of inheritance, centralization of credit and transport, state control of key industries, free public education, and similar reforms) and the ultimate goal of abolishing class ownership of the means of production to achieve a classless, internationalist society.
