Colm Breathnach shows the relevance of a work written a century and a half ago to contemporary struggles. A shorter version of this article first appeared in Red Banner 27 .
This short work is as good a place as any for someone to approach Marx for the first time before they take on the, somewhat daunting but hugely rewarding Capital, or the eminently readable but over-polemical Communist Manifesto. It is widely acknowledged as one of Marx’s most brilliant works and a work that still attracts much interest, because it is seen by many as a practical application of his general methodology, the archetype of the Marxist approach to history, as well as being a piece of incisive and committed journalism. The pamphlet describes and analyses the events spanning the period from the overthrow of the Orleanist monarchy in February 1848 to the coup d’etat of Louis Bonaparte (Napoleon III), Napoleon Bonaparte’s nephew, in December 1851. Written shortly after the events described, it was originally intended as a series of articles for Die Revolution, a journal aimed at left-wing German exiles in the USA, but eventually appeared in book form as the sole issue of the same journal.
