These works are central to Marxist theory, offering both a critical analysis of capitalism and a vision for a revolutionary alternative.
Capital (Das Kapital) (1867, ed. by Friedrich Engels) - This foundational text by Karl Marx analyzes the capitalist system, focusing on its economic structures and dynamics. Marx examines how value is created and distributed, the exploitation of labor, and the accumulation of capital. The work is crucial for understanding Marxist economic theory, the concept of surplus value, and the inherent contradictions within capitalism that Marx argues will lead to its eventual downfall.
The Communist Manifesto (1848) - Co-authored by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, this pamphlet outlines the principles of communism and presents a critique of the capitalist system. It argues that history is a class struggle between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class). The manifesto calls for the proletariat to rise up, overthrow capitalist systems, and establish a classless, stateless society. It is significant for its role in promoting communist ideology and inspiring various revolutionary movements.
