Description:

The first piece of significant Marxist theory on scientific socialism and the movement towards communism, the Communist Manifesto, is published in Bishopsgate, London. While the text languished in obscurity for many years, it has become unquestionably the foremost recognizable piece of left-wing intellectual literature in history, and outlines the basics of socialism, communism, and the method of achievement of each.
