Communist Literature
Which book is known as the "Bible of Communism"?
Explanation and memory cue
The book commonly known as the "Bible of Communism" is the "Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, first published in 1848. It is considered the foundational text of communist ideology, outlining the theory of class struggle, the role of the proletariat, and the goals of communism. While "Das Kapital" by Karl Marx is a significant and comprehensive critique of political economy and capitalism, it is not typically referred to as the "Bible of Communism." The "Communist Manifesto" is more widely recognized by that title due to its role as the manifesto of the Communist League and its broad influence on communist movements worldwide.
