160th anniversary of Marx and Engels’s “Communist Manifesto”
"A spectre is haunting Europe—the spectre of Communism” – this is the first phrase in the “Manifesto of the communist party” announced on February 24, 1848.
It was written by Karl Marx, a poor philosopher born into a Jewish family who was wondering across Europe advertising communism, and by a son of a rich manufacturer Friedrich Engels.
Vladimir Ulyanov developed the ideas of “the Manifesto” in his work “What is to Be Done?” in 1902. He added the idea of creating a power that would be able to conduct a communist revolution – a disciplined party as a vanguard of the proletariat.
