class struggle", with Friedrich Engels.
Obliged to leave
Germany because of his political opinions, Karl Marx takes refuge in Paris,

decide to make Communism incipient a
scientific theory, but also to put it in practice by organizing an
international movement of the working class.
In 1848, they

Party, in which the history is presented like a
succession of fights between the dominant classes (called employers)
and the dominated classes ( proletariat).

theory in an immense work, the
Capital.
Its ideas, which are
