What is a manifesto? Easily explained

Many have heard of the Communist Manifesto before. However, many parts of society do not know what exactly a manifesto is. However, it does not always have to be about ideology or politics.

The manifesto - a clear explanation of intentions and goals

• The term manifest is derived from the Latin word "manifestus". This means "palpable", but also "obvious", "obvious", "clear" and "clear"
• A manifesto is a public declaration of intentions and goals. Most of these are goals and intentions of a political nature. However, in addition to political explanations, there are also artistic, philosophical and corporate manifestos. In religion, a manifesto would be a creed.
• A manifesto can be written by you as an individual, but also by groups such as organizations or governments.
• This explanation can be short or long. In terms of content, a manifesto is on the one hand an "attack" on the previously common view of certain things. On the other hand, a manifesto always delivers concrete goals that should be achieved.
• The most famous declaration of intent and goal is the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
