Was first published on February 21, 1848, and is one of the world's most influential political tracts. Commissioned by the Communist League and written by communist theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it laid out the League's purposes and program. The Manifesto suggested a course of action for a proletarian (working class) revolution to overthrow the bourgeoisie (ruling upper class) and to eventually bring about a classless society.

Although the names of both Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels appear on the title page alongside the "persistent assumption of joint-authorship", Marx biographer David McLellan states that "Engels said later that the Manifesto was 'essentially Marx's work' and that 'the basic thought... belongs solely and exclusively to Marx'." McLellan, along with many other scholars, believes that "the actual drafting of The Communist Manifesto was done exclusively by Marx."

The dispute about the degree of authorship of the Manifesto between Marx and Engels is one component of a larger dispute about whether Engels is a reliable interpreter of Marx; many who wish to separate Marx from alleged distortions of his ideas by later Marxists such as Lenin or Stalin have traced the alleged errors back to Engels.
