In which language was the Communist Manifesto by Marx/Engels first published, in 1848?
"Marx drew from the ""joint stock of ideas"" he developed with Engels, ""a kind of intellectual bank account upon which either could draw freely."" In late February 1848, the ""Manifesto"" was anonymously published by the Workers' Educational Association (""Communistischer Arbeiterbildungsverein"") at Bishopsgate in the City of London. Written in German, the 23-page pamphlet was titled ""Manifest der kommunistischen Partei"" and had a dark-green cover. It was reprinted three times and serialised in the ""Deutsche Londoner Zeitung"", a newspaper for German ""émigré""s. On 4 March, one day after the serialisation in the ""Zeitung"" began, Marx was expelled by Belgian police. Two"

The proletariat have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win ... Working Men of All Countries, Unite!"" There was a revolution in France in 1848 that soon spread to other Western European countries. These events caused Engels and Marx to return to their homeland of the Prussian Empire, specifically to the city of Cologne. While living in Cologne, they created and served as editors for a new daily newspaper called the"
"Marx decided to move to Belgium, which then permitted greater freedom of expression than some other countries in Europe. Engels and Marx returned to Brussels in January 1846, where they set up the Communist Correspondence Committee. In 1847, Engels and Marx began writing a pamphlet together, based on Engels' ""The Principles of Communism"". They completed the 12,000-word pamphlet in six weeks, writing it in such a manner as to make communism understandable to a wide audience and published it as ""The Communist Manifesto"" in February 1848. In March, Belgium expelled both Engels and Marx. They moved to Cologne, where they"

Over the next forty years, as social-democratic parties rose across Europe and parts of the world, so did the publication of the ""Manifesto"" alongside them, in hundreds of editions in thirty languages. Marx and Engels wrote a new preface for the 1882 Russian edition, translated by Georgi Plekhanov in Geneva. In it they wondered if Russia could directly become a communist society, or if she would become capitalist first like other European countries. After Marx's death in 1883,"

In March, Belgium expelled them and they moved to Cologne, where they published the ""Neue Rheinische Zeitung"", a politically radical newspaper. By 1849, they had to leave Cologne for London.

In late 1847, Marx and Engels began writing what was to become their most famous work – a programme of action for the Communist League. Written jointly by Marx and Engels from December 1847 to January 1848, ""The Communist Manifesto"" was first published on 21 February 1848.

(Her version begins, ""A frightful hobgoblin stalks throughout Europe. We are haunted by a ghost, the ghost of Communism."") For her translation, the Lancashire-based Macfarlane probably consulted Engels, who had abandoned his own English translation half way. Harney's introduction revealed the ""Manifesto""s hitherto-anonymous authors' identities for the first time. Soon after the ""Manifesto"" was published, Paris erupted"
"Engels wrote to Marx recommending a further re-draft, in historical prose: Following the second congress of the Communist League, it commissioned Marx to write a final program. Drawing directly upon the ideas in ""Principles of Communism"", Marx delivered a final revision, the ""Manifesto"", in early 1848. Although Marx was the exclusive author of the ""Manifesto's"" manuscript, the ideas were adapted from Engels' earlier drafts, with the result that the ""Manifesto"" was credited to both authors. Beginning with a definition of communism as a political theory for the liberation of the proletariat, Engels provides a brief history of the proletariat as"

In the 19th century, ""The Communist Manifesto"" (1848), by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, called for the international political unification of the European working classes in order to achieve a Communist revolution; and proposed that, because the socio-economic organization of communism was of a higher form than that of capitalism, a workers' revolution would first occur in the economically advanced, industrialized countries. Marxist social democracy was strongest in Germany throughout the 19th century, and the Social Democratic Party of Germany inspired Lenin and other Russian Marxists.

(i.e. ""Vox populi, vox Dei"", or ""People's voice is God's voice""). He had a small group of intellectual followers and the group became an underground club for political discussions, but never really any practical political work.

A few other states later exercised their own commitments to the cause of world revolution—for instance, Cuba frequently dispatched internationalist military missions abroad to defend communist interests in Africa and the Caribbean.

In the text, Engels presents core ideas of Marxism such as historical materialism, class struggle, and proletarian revolution.
