Summary
‘A spectre is haunting Europe – the spectre of Communism.’1 Introducing the Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels cast communism as an ill-defined force that allowed ‘all the Powers in Europe’ to tar all political opposition with its stigma. It was therefore ‘high time … to meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a Manifesto of the party itself.’ But communism was already much more than that.
