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
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
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..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the ideas in "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in which they set forth a program that is both descriptive and prescriptive, describing what they see as the evolution of society and prescribing action in order to take society to the next level. According to the paper, they say that this level is inevitable, but that does not mean it cannot be hurried along by action. The Manifesto involves both social and economic change on a grand scale, including a shift in the political structures from one era to the next.

From the Paper
"The state in which these men lived at the time was capitalism, which they saw as only an interim state before the uprising of the proletariat and the imposition of a dictatorship of the proletariat before a shift to a completely communist system, presumably the end point in the evolution of the social order. "

Abstract
This paper discusses how "The Communist Manifesto", written in 1848 by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, describes the history of all societies, as the source stemming from socio- economic class conflicts. In particular, the paper examines its main ideas and their applicability to modern society such as property, tax and inheritance and provides the author's own personal opinion. The paper concludes that there are definitely ideals drawn from "The Communist Manifesto" that are pertinent today.

From the Paper
"Marx and Engels develop a set of rules, almost like what we consider nowadays to be
the Ten Commandments, for an "advanced country" to follow. The main ideas are that individual or private inheritance, graduated income tax, and progressive tax, are abolished. Also, all members of a society share an equal obligation to work, and that a combination of agriculture and manufacturing industries are necessary for a functioning society. I feel that the equal obligation of all to work is one of the most effective rules set forth in The Communist Manifesto. In order for a society to prosper, this idea must be established. Today, it is the work of a select few that seems to hold the country together, and it should be all members of the society that accomplishes this task. Imagine how much our society could advance if everyone shared in equal work. Since history as never had a society like this, it is hard to fully comprehend how it would develop and prosper."

Abstract
The following paper looks at two works: "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the "Communist Manifesto". The way in which religion was used to help maintain power will be discussed with reference to these two works. The fundamental similarities and differences between these two books will be drawn upon.

From the paper:

" Although Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Communist Manifesto were written at about the same point in history, they are markedly different books. Although one was a fictional novel and one a philosophical treatise, both works influenced their countries to a greater or lesser degree during a civil war, and surprisingly similar views regarding religion are either expressed or implied in both works. This paper will look at how the two works discuss or reveal how religion was used to help maintain positions of power."

Abstract
This paper examines the Communist Manifesto. The paper first examines what China looked like from a political and cultural perspective around the 1920s and how it got to that point. The paper then gives a view of how a Chinese person might read the Manifesto at some point around the 1920s when China was in desperate need of some form of national unity.

From the Paper
"The unification of China was the dominant theme around the 1920s. China needed to combine every class of people in order to get back on her feet. Although China did not fit the Marxist model, the ideas within the Manifesto ultimately called for unity which was the main concern of China at the time. Marx's program was designed to create a situation where everyone had the right to live a meaningful existence with the adequate means to live by. With this in mind, a Chinese reading the Manifesto would be drawn to these themes because China was overwhelmingly illiterate and poor. Even though Marx looked down upon the rural life, this is what Chinese reformers and revolutionaries had to deal with."
