"Communist Manifesto" of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels was written in December 1847 - January 1848. The first separate edition was published in London in 1848 in English, French, German, Italian, Flemish and Danish languages. This work laid the foundations of Marxism and presents the analysis of society, its problems, and ways of solving these problems.
According to Marxist philosophy, the correct view of history is purely materialistic and scientific understanding (the essence of which is depending on the public consciousness of social being), unencumbered by the influence of any ideology. The only class of society that can contemplate the story exactly in that way is the proletariat, which actually is the main character of human culture for Marxists. (Marx & Engels, 1948)
In "The Communist Manifesto" first, noted that "the history of all previously existing society is the history of class struggles."
Marx and Engels paid tribute to the bourgeoisie as a revolutionary class. It destroyed the feudal and patriarchal relations, created the new, more powerful relations of production, giving rise, therefore, to more powerful productive forces. There was a concentration of production and centralization of public and private property. At the same time, the bourgeoisie drew from under the feet of industry the national ground and made consumption of "cosmopolitan". In fact, Marx and Engels were speaking about globalization, despite the fact they didn't have that definition. However, creating a much more powerful productive forces, the bourgeois community, according to Marx and Engels, can not cope with them, resembling "the sorcerer who is no longer able to cope with ground forces, caused by his spells." (Marx & Engels, 1948) The improvement of the productive forces of capitalism means the sentence, and, therefore, the authors of "Manifesto" come to the fact that capitalism has played a historic role. Society was divided into two camps - the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. The proletariat begins to struggle with the bourgeoisie.
And this struggle is the socialist revolution, that is about any peaceful resolution of conflicts between the two classes can be no question. The first objective of this revolution was the conquest of democracy and the proletariat to the ruling class. This revolution must not be made one day, but must be made without delay.
According to the "Manifesto", private property must be destroyed. It substantiates the fact that the petty bourgeoisie and the small peasants do not have the property, (it was destroyed by the bourgeoisie), whereas ownership of the bourgeoisie - a capital that has been accumulated by collective work and, therefore, it is a social product that has not to be only in the hands of the capitalist.
In the "Manifesto" is not proposed confiscation of all capitalist property: the proletariat must only expropriate land and pay land rent to public purposes, as well as to introduce a high progressive tax.
The rest of the points can be taken directly from the "Manifesto": prоperty cоnfiscation; concentration of credit in the hands of the state, as well as centralizatiоn of the means of cоmmunication and transport; expanding of factories and instruments of goods owned by the State; the bringing intо cultivatiоn of waste-lands, and the imprоvement of the soil generally in accordance with a cоmmon plan the same level of liability of all to wоrk; the mix of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual cleaning of all the distinctiоn between town and cоuntry by a much steady distributiоn of the pоpulace over the country; free education. (Marx & Engels, 1948)
Thus, in the "Communist Manifesto", with the fundamental base consisting of earlier works of Marx and Engels, the ideas of which briefly were also set out in the "Manifesto", there is a clear program of action that was supposed to make the proletariat as the new ruling class, having come to power.
Thus, the final (and quite utopian) goal, the implementation of which should lead all these events (revolution, etc.) is the destruction of all class distinctions in society, to achieve loss of public authorities of their political (and political power for Marxists - is orderly and legitimate violence of one class over the other), and a society (association), in which the free improvement of each is the condition for the free development of all. History has shown that it is impossible to achieve the Marxian ideal because the ruling class will appear again, but in this case, it won't be the same former representatives of the proletariat, in whose hands the capital will be accumulated, and so on around the circle.
