In the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 Marx explains how under capitalism people rely on labor to live. In the past people could rely on Nature itself for their natural needs; in modern society if one wants to eat one must work: it is only through money that one may survive. Thus man becomes a slave to his wages. It is only through his work that he can find enough money to continue to live; but he doesn't simply live he actually only survives as a worker.

In the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 Marx explains how under capitalism people rely on labor to live. In the past people could rely on Nature itself for their natural needs; in modern society if one wants to eat one must work: it is only through money that one may survive. Thus man becomes a slave to his wages. It is only through his work that he can find enough money to continue to live; but he doesn't simply live he actually only survives as a worker. Labor is only used to create more wealth instead of achieving the fulfillment of human nature. The Communist Manifesto was first published on February 21 and it is one of the world's most influential political tracts. Commissioned by the Communist League and written by communist theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels it laid out the League's purposes and program. The Manifesto suggested a course of action for a proletarian (working class) revolution to overthrow the ruling class of bourgeoisie and to eventually bring about a classless society.Wilder Publications is a green publisher.

Autorenporträt
Karl Heinrich Marx (5 May 1818 - 14 March 1883) was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary. Born in Trier, Germany, Marx studied law and philosophy at university. He married Jenny von Westphalen in 1843. Due to his political publications, Marx became stateless and lived in exile with his wife and children in London for decades, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and publish his writings, researching in the reading room of the British Museum. His best-known titles are the 1848 pamphlet, The Communist Manifesto, and the three-volume Das Kapital. His political and philosophical thought had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun and a school of social theory. Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class struggle. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labour power in return for wages.[13] Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx predicted that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism. For Marx, class antagonisms under capitalism, owing in part to its instability and crisis-prone nature, would eventuate the working class' development of class consciousness, leading to their conquest of political power and eventually the establishment of a classless, communist society constituted by a free association of producers. Marx actively pressed for its implementation, arguing that the working class should carry out organised revolutionary action to topple capitalism and bring about socio-economic emancipation.
