The Literate Communist sheds new light on the modern world's most
consequential political tract. Professor Hodges' thesis is that the
Communist Manifesto is not what it claims to be - a forthright and
faithful expression of what communists believed in 1848 - and that
its subsequent adaptations periodically opened the door to and
slammed the door shut on communism. Part I introduces students to
the Manifesto's conspiratorial legacy stemming from the great
French Revolution of 1789-1794 and to Marx and Engels' informal
amendments to it. Part II examines the 150-year-old posthistory of
the Manifesto and its interpretations that pull in opposite
directions. The author concludes that the Janus-faced Manifesto
played a key ideological role in not only the rise, but also the
demise of the Soviet Union.
