Workers of the world, unite!

The political slogan "Workers of the world, unite!" is one of the rallying cries from The Communist Manifesto (1848)^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels (German: Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt Euch!, literally 'Proletarians of all countries, unite!',^[5] but soon popularised in English as "Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!").^[5]^{[note 1]}

A variation of this phrase ("Workers of all lands, unite") is also inscribed on Marx's tombstone.^[7] The essence of the slogan is that members of the working classes throughout the world should cooperate to defeat capitalism and achieve victory in the class conflict.^[8]
