Kahalagahan at kabuluhan ng Manipesto ng mga Komunista sa nagpapatuloy na pakikibaka ng sambayanang Pilipino
Sa pagsusulat ng Communist Manifesto, inilapat nina Marx at Engels ang kanilang materyalista-siyentipikong pananaw at pamamaraan ng pagsusuri sa kasaysayang panlipunan ng daigdig at sa mga kongkretong kondisyon ng kapitalismo sa yugto nito ng malayang kumpetisyon sa England noong 1848.

Impact of imperialist war and terror and further strengthening of the people’s movement
Since the end of the 19th century, the entire world has become the economic territory of monopoly capitalism.
