This Manifesto, which contains the creed of all socialist doctrines, exerted a great influence on later communist literature and revolutionary thought, being considered the classic exposition of modern communism.

It has been translated into several languages ​​and has an extraordinary historical-political influence, still being a fundamental pillar for understanding the materialist conception of history, the class struggle and the set of problems inherent in the ideological construction of socialism.

Publishing it makes new ideas available. As Lenin said: “This short pamphlet has the merit of a full volume. To this day, his spirit inspires and guides the entire organized and fighting proletariat of the civilized world.

Today it is necessary to read or reread this political manuscript, which largely reflects what is happening in a divided society, in a world where the exploited and the exploiters are still in conflict.
