Abstract
The paper explains that Marx, Engel, and the communist party that they represented believed that society had evolved to a point in which people were no longer valued for their skills, but rather by how much income they could generate for their employers. The paper discusses how because of the changes that were occurring in and to society, in which workers were now being banded together in urban centers, Marx and his peers believed that a proletariat revolution was not only possible, but probable. The paper shows how the "Communist Manifesto" laid the groundwork for this and other movements, which would eventually be grouped under the heading of Marxism.

From the Paper
"Karl Marx was, perhaps, one of the most meticulous thinkers of his day. During the time that Marx lived, the middle class was just coming into existence. In addition, the poor were being forced out of positions that had previously allowed them to eke out an independent living, frequently by the development of machinery and factories that produced larger quantities of goods in less time than the individuals ever could. Marx envisioned a future in which workers rebelled against what he saw as exploitation by the employers who provided these factory jobs, as well as other members of the upper classes who he felt lived off the efforts of..."

Abstract
The paper relates that Marx and Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto, published in 1848, for the Communist League. The paper explains that it was a document that concisely explained the development of capitalist society and the source of the social and economic inequalities in the early capitalistic society. The paper describes how the roots and the future of this inequality is clearly described in the first part of the Manifesto "Bourgeois and Proletarians": the bourgeois obtained political power after the 18th century revolutions and now holds the means of production and to whom the proletarians are forced to sell their labour-power. However, the paper points out that the idea of social inequality is much older than the Manifesto and originates even with Aristotle (Andreski, 1975).

Abstract
This paper examines how, given the central role played by the Communist Party in the history of China in the 20th century, the analysis by the Communist leadership of the social foundations for the party s political support would clearly be of great interest to scholars and students of Chinese society and culture during this period. From this perspective this paper attempts a comparative analysis of two documents written by Mao Tse tung while still a young revolutionary in the 1920s.

Abstract
This paper discusses the state and practice of ancient Chinese religious traditions in Communist China. The paper describes the discouragement of religion by the Chinese Communist Party and outlines the six ancient religions of China.

From the Paper
"The Chinese Communist Party, China's ruling party, long discouraged the practice of religion. Communism is an atheist form of government to begin with, but the Chinese Communist Party also regarded religion as a dangerous alternative credo to communism, a view that failed to deter Chinese citizens from practicing their religious beliefs even at great personal risk. Even though the Cultural Revolution that occurred saw massive religious persecution and the destruction of thousands of temples and churches..."

Abstract
This paper examines how the analysis of the social foundations of political support is of interest not only to democratic politicians but also to revolutionary leaders. It looks at how although movements such as Mao Tse tung's Chinese Communist Party cannot be considered democratic in the western sense, the Chinese Communists at least prior to 1949 depended upon mobilizing a mass base of support among the population for the movement's continuing survival.

Abstract
This paper examines the first two chapters of the Communist Manifesto and describes its views on the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, imperialism and capitalism. The paper explains how the two classes of society in a capitalistic structure are hostile and opposed to each other.

From the Paper
"In "The Communist Manifesto" Chapters I and II describe the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the two classes of society within capitalist society that are hostile and opposed to each other. According to this Manifesto, the bourgeoisie has destroyed the ties among men and reduced them to nothing more than money and self-interest. In place of religious fervor, chivalry and the other softer and more meaningful urges, it has put Free Trade which the Manifesto equates to exploitation. The bourgeoisie has destroyed national industries to put..."
