political power by the proletariat...
[T]he Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against
the existing social and political order of things... They openly declare that their ends can be
attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist
revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a
world to win. Proletarians of all
countries, unite!”

German “Workers of the world, unite!”
The Communist Manifesto,
