Ironically, The Communist Manifesto, first published in 1848 for
the Communist League, had little influence in its own day. Only
after Karl Marx and Frederick Engels' other writings had made their
views on socialism widely known did it become a standard text. For
nearly century it was one of the most widely read - some would
argue misread - texts in the world. Manifested in vivid prose, the
Manifesto continues to irk the capitalist world, lingering as an
eerie specter even after the collapse of those governments, which
claimed to be enacting its principles. Certainly, the aim here is
not create converts. Instead it is to help readers probe the
writing with its distinct point of view, so that we might
understand the political and historical significance of the text
while still maintaining a stance that allows us to think critically
about the subject and form our own opinions.
