Marx and Engels open with the claim that all recorded history is the history of class struggle, describe the rise of the bourgeoisie and the conditions it creates, then set out the aims of the communists and close with a call to unite.

Barely forty pages, it is one of the most consequential political documents ever written, and it is worth reading for its account of what capitalism does as much as for its programme.

  1. The opening claim that history is the history of class struggle, and how the argument is built.
  2. Their description of what the bourgeoisie achieved before they criticise what it costs.
  3. What alienation and the relation of workers to their labour mean in this account.
  4. The ten measures proposed in the second section, and how ordinary some now look.
  5. How the pamphlet distinguishes communism from the other socialisms of its day.
  6. Why a forty-page text became one of the most consequential documents in modern politics.
