Which famous work of Marx mentions the following lines "History of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggle" ?

  • A.A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy
  • B.The Poverty of Philosophy
  • C.Capital
  • D.The Communist Manifesto

Answer: D

The line opens Part I of The Communist Manifesto.

Marx and Engels's Manifesto of the Communist Party (1848) begins its first section, 'Bourgeois and Proletarians', with the sentence that the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles, going on to name freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman.

The Poverty of Philosophy (1847) was Marx's polemic against Proudhon, A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy (1859) contains the famous preface on base and superstructure, and Capital analyses the capitalist mode of production. None begins with this line.
