Socialism

Engels critiques utopian socialism, arguing that it relies on impractical ideals rather than scientific principles. He posits that socialism emerges from the inherent contradictions of capitalism, making it a necessary evolution rather than a moral choice. By examining the works of utopian socialists like Owen and Fourier, he highlights their failures to address capitalism's core issues. This book is a foundational text in Marxist literature, emphasizing the importance of scientific socialism as a pathway to a more equitable society, and remains significant in contemporary discussions on capitalism.
