A catechism becomes a manifesto

A review of the classic Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels: The Communist Manifesto. Excerpt: "The Communist Manifesto is the most translated, most widespread, and most well-known of all the writings by Marx and Engels. It was first published early in 1848, just before the wave of revolutions all over Europe. Its immediate influence was, however, limited. It was only some decades later that it formed the first step in almost all introductions to the political theory of Marx."
