The Communist Manifesto
Karl Marx and Frederick Engels
Introduction by Leon Trotsky
“The joint and rather brief production of two
young authors still continues to give irreplaceable
directives upon the most important and burning
questions of the struggle for emancipation,”
wrote Russian revolutionary leader Leon Trotsky
in his 1937 introduction to the Communist
Manifesto included in this Pathfinder edition.
Karl Marx and Frederick Engels explain
why communism is not a set of preconceived
principles but the line of march of the working
class toward power, “springing from an existing
class struggle, a historical movement going on
under our very eyes.”
