The first work we have been reading for this discussion group is Marx and Engels' Manifesto of the Communist Party. It was first published on February 21, 1848. Even to this day, it is difficult to overstate the influence this short document has had on world history and to the economic thought of the average person.
We will tackle this work according to the outline given in the text: Bourgeois and Proletarians; Proletarians and Communists (with special emphasis on the 10 Planks); Socialist and Communist Literature; and Position of the Communists in Relation to the Various Existing Opposition Parties.
I intend to open up the discussion on the Bourgeois and Proletarians starting tomorrow.
