Part I introduces students to the Manifesto's conspiratorial legacy stemming from the great French Revolution of 1789-1794 and to Marx and Engels' informal amendments to it. Part II examines the 150-year-old posthistory of the Manifesto and its interpretations that pull in opposite directions. The author concludes that the Janus-faced Manifesto played a key ideological role in not only the rise, but also the demise of the Soviet Union."--Jacket.CommunismSocialismHistorical materialismMarxist criticismCommunismSocialismHistorical materialismMarxist criticismPolitical ScienceHILCCSocialism, Communism & AnarchismHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCCommunism.Socialism.Historical materialism.Marxist criticism.CommunismSocialismHistorical materialismMarxist criticismPolitical ScienceSocialism, Communism & AnarchismLaw, Politics & Government335.4/22Hodges Donald Clark1923-913651DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910345135603321The literate communist2046892UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
