Sinopse

This edition of The Communist Manifesto , one of the most important works of political philosophy ever written, contains a preface, preparation, and notes by sociologist Sabrina Fernandes.

"Workers of all countries, unite!"

Written almost 200 years ago, The Communist Manifesto , by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, was uniquely conceived to communicate the seminal ideas of proletarian political organization to a broad, popular audience. The authors' goal was to bring the working class closer to the political theories that would form the foundations of communism in Europe. The endeavor resulted in a clear and objective text that reached the four corners of the planet and became one of the most important political events of the modern and contemporary world.

In this new edition, sociologist Sabrina Fernandes re-presents The Communist Manifesto with a new preface and a set of notes that contextualize the issues raised by Marx and Engels for today. Like them, Sabrina understands that the role of intellectuals must go beyond the realm of specialists so that messages of social transformation reach many more people. And here we see an example of how this can be done.

It helps us understand the mobilizing spirit of The Communist Manifesto in its task of informing about the mechanisms of worker exploitation by the economic elite—and its most immediate consequences. This exploitation not only defines the population's low quality of life, but also influences, as we now know well, the attacks on biomes that are at the center of the debate about imminent climate change.

Furthermore, Sabrina Fernandes reflects on recent events that have transformed families' daily lives—from the novel coronavirus pandemic to the uberization of work. These new social conditions further hinder the political organization of workers around common goals, as Marx and Engels longed for, especially at a time when reactionary political forces are joining neoliberal efforts to destroy social protections and, at the same time, undermine the stability of democracies.

Sobre o autor

Karl Marx

Karl Marx (1818-1883) foi um filósofo, economista e comentarista político alemão. Sua crítica ao capitalismo, especialmente a contida em O capital, deu origem a visões político-econômicas que nortearam a criação de partidos comunistas em todo o mundo. Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) foi um industrial e filósofo alemão, e um dos principais críticos do capitalismo inglês. Trabalhou junto com Marx em diversos livros, sendo ele um dos primeiros defensores do marxismo. Sabrina Fernandes é doutora em sociologia, pós-doutoranda do Grupo Internacional de Pesquisa sobre Autoritarismo e Contraestratégias da Fundação Rosa Luxemburgo e da Universidade de Brasília, e produtora do canal Tese Onze, projeto de comunicação política e científica no YouTube.
