Owing to the extensive use of machinery, and to the division of labour, the work of the proletarians has lost all individual character, and, consequently, all charm for the workman. He becomes an appendage of the machine, and it is only the most simple, most monotonous, and most easily acquired knack, that is required of him.The Communist Manifesto is one of the most monumental works in history. It charted the course of the twentieth century and inspired millions to revolution, forming the world as we know it today. Ever since the document’s publication, it has been used as a guide for the oppressed who seeks a fairer society.While being a call to arms, the Manifesto also contains the main themes of Marx’s materialist conception of history which continues to be influential. But most of all, the Manifesto is now a valuable historical document that signifies the political upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth century. This historical document still draws intense debates to this day.This edition of the Manifesto contains two translations of the text. The authorized Samuel Moore translation and the first English translation by Helen Macfarlane. Also included in this volume is Marx’s Address on the Question of Free Trade with an introduction by Engels and Section I of The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte."[T]he first great work in which Marx and Engels gave expression to their philosophy of life was the Communist Manifesto, produced at the request of an International Communist Congress held in London in 1847. This work, which is almost unsurpassed in literary merit, gives the main points, with the exception of the theory of surplus value, in Marx’s political and historical creed, without the tedious economico-Hegelian pedantry of Das Kapital. For terse eloquence, for biting wit, and for historical insight, it is, to my mind, one of the best pieces of political literature ever produced."—Bertrand Russell, German Social Democracy

Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland: Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island: Who rules the World-Island commands the World. On January 25, 1904, Halford Mackinder read to the Royal Geographical Society an article titled "The Geographical Pivot of History" and proposed his Heartland theory. With this article, Mackinder created the modern field of geopolitics. Mackinder’s theory was later developed further in his book Democratic Ideals and Reality: A Study in the Politics of Reconstruction in which he demonstrated prescience by predicting that the Great War will be followed by another great struggle for the dominance of the Heartland. His Heartland theory has since become one of the foundational theories of geopolitics and continues to influence geopolitical thinkers and planners to this day. Sir Halford John Mackinder was an English geographer best known for being the founder of the discipline of geopolitics. He was also a politician, an academic, and served as the Director of the London School of Economics. "Mr. Mackinder has produced a book which is of signal interest and importance to all students of history and of politics."—Frederick J. Teggart, The American Historical Review "The book abounds in interesting suggestions, and is written in the author's characteristically vivid style."—Ellen Churchill Semple, American Journal of Sociology

Democratic Ideals and Reality / The Geographical Pivot of History

Hegel says somewhere that all great historic facts and personages recur twice. He forgot to add: "Once as tragedy, and again as farce." On December 2, 1851, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte staged a coup d’état and dissolved the National Assembly, paving the way for his coronation as emperor. Marx was rather unimpressed with Louis-Napoleon, and considered him a grotesque mediocrity compared to his world conquering uncle Napoleon I. The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte discusses the 1851 coup d’état and treats the events of history from the standpoint of Marx’s materialistic conception of history. Marx’s ability as a historian and a social critic along with his views on class struggles and historical materialism are fully expounded in this essay.
