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 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
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
The paper discusses the the relationship between gender and family to politics and class and how they impact the Manifesto. The paper explains that the Manifesto was authored over 150 years ago and was a blueprint plan for communism. The paper shows how relations between class and politics and gender and family are clear through the teachings Karl Marx imparts in the Manifesto. The paper discusses how Marx and Friedrich Engels accuse the bourgeoisie class of not respecting family values or females. The paper explains that the family of the bourgeoisie class will self destruct; true strong family values and respect of females as a gender will eventually rise up and overpower the bourgeois class to provide a world of equality, family love and peace.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to the Manifesto the development of the new social classes occurred in direct correlation with the corresponding changes and advances in the political system that went along with that class. The Manifesto claims that the oppressed class has historically played a very important revolutionary part in the development of the class system, the political advances and the development and advancement of communism itself during the process. The emerging class of the bourgeoisie played a part in the development of the other class as well because without the separation of its parts it would not have created an atmosphere for another class to emerge."

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."
