Friedrich Engels, Karl Marx

Il Manifesto Comunista

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

(Dalla prefazione del libro) Il Manifesto venne pubblicato come piattaforma programmatica della "Lega dei comunisti", associazione di lavoratori dapprima esclusivamente tedesca, poi internazionale e, date le condizioni politiche del Continente prima del 1848, società inevitabilmente segreta. Nel corso di un congresso della Lega tenutosi a Londra nel novembre 1847, Marx ed Engels vennero incaricati di preparare per la pubblicazione un completo programma teorico e pratico di partito. Redatto in tedesco nel gennaio 1848, il manoscritto fu spedito in tipografia a Londra alcune settimane prima della rivoluzione francese del 24 febbraio. Una traduzione francese fu pubblicata a Parigi poco prima dell'insurrezione del giugno 1848, mentre la prima traduzione inglese, a opera di Helen Macfarlane, apparve a Londra sul Red Republican di George Julian Harney, nel 1850.

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.
