Communist Manifesto is the popular
name of a pamphlet written by Karl Marks and Friedrich Engels, which was released by
them in 1848. The exact translation of the title of this pamphlet, which was written in
German is "Manifesto of the Communist Party". Several new edition
of the manifesto were released from 1872 to 1890.
This
pamphlet provided the basis for the establishment and development of Communism. The
manifest chalks out a ten point program for the same. This program includes abolition of
ownership of capital, and abolition of right of inheritance. It also lays down specific
measures for taxation, and government control of activities such as banking,
communication and transport. It envisaged a planned and centrally controlled system for
development of agriculture and industry, and for bringing parity between people from
different sections of society.
