• Abstract : The Communist Manifesto(1848), a social criticism and a diagnosis of social problems, aims at the realization of a new society called communism, away from the ides of a republic of freedom and equality and fraternity idealized in Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen of 1789. The whole idea of ​​Marx and Engels is linked to the cord of Communist Manifesto. This cord consists of: not a mechanical mechanism, but an idea of ​​human social relations and practice. The Manifesto shows that a new society cannot be realized through a vague social movement, but through the action of ‘politics of struggle and liberation’ and the action of ‘labor and production’, whose initiator is the workers themselves. The Manifesto is not only the product of democratic and open debates but also a representative work that shows how the theory has ‘an immediate path to practice’ and how it can ‘cross the realm of practice.’
