Essay about Critique of the Communist Manifesto
Assignment No. 3: Critique of the Communist Manifesto
Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels' Communist Manifesto is one of the world's most influential pieces of political literature. The manifesto was

individuals who seek a peaceful way of living). As well Marx never gives a good description for how the proletariat should govern the state once
they take power. John Locke proposes in the Second Treatise on Government that "The earth, and all that is therein, is given to men for the support
