The communist manifesto was seen as a solution to the class struggle, written by Karl Marx currently residing in London at the time, although originally from Prussia. However the manifestio was not just aimed at England but was seen as a solution for the whole world, and seen by Marx as the next step in developing the world. This was a theory very similar to Hegel, a school of thought that Marx himself and breaken away from with his idea of Communisim.
In theory communism works. Everyone is equal and the poor are not exploited in the way the buorgouise were exploiting the poletarians at the time of Marx writing his manifesto. It is very far left of the political sprectrem, extremely socialist and is aimed at the workers of the time working in factories and feilds being exploited. The manifesto was aimed to cause a rebellion from workers who were being unfairly treated. Marx wanted this too be a peaceful revolution tho with the government in charge making everyone fair.
The idea of communism meant that possesions were removed and everything was stated owned, such as hospitals,housing and businesses. In THEORY this meant that everyone was equal and this was seen a revolutionary idea. However theorists like Adam Smith would have disagreed with this due to the 'hidden hand of the market'. Communism means there is not competition in any area of business which can lead to lack of innovation, but this was seen as fairness and everyone would be on the same playing feild which of course gets you closer to perfection and God!
