-

On 21 February 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’ The Communist Manifesto was published in London by the Communist League. The text was formative in the creation of the Soviet Union and helped legitimise the internatio­nal labour movement, which had helped to inspire the text. Marx and Engels’ work fully exposed workplace exploitati­on and was instrument­al in the struggle for workers’ rights.
