What was the most important idea behind the Communist Manifesto?

The most important idea behind the Communist Manifesto is, again, this idea of historical materialism. The idea that history is inevitably working towards this outcome, that history was on the side of the workers, and that their struggle was destined to give them the victory that they had so long desired. It gave this incredible confidence to this young movement, this movement that was just beginning, because what Marx and Engels was telling them was, don't worry; what ever happens to you, no matter how miserable your lives are, no matter how desperate your political struggle seems, historys working its way towards this outcome.

Thats what gives Marxism its incredible force. This kind of sense that history is on your side; that with the power of science we can now see the way the forces are working, and theyre working to free you and to create this socialist future. What was it that Marx was trying to do with Capital to build upon what he had started with the Manifesto?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
