On the centenary of this upheaval, this volume pairs Marx and Engels’s most famous work with Lenin’s own revolutionary manifesto, \u003ci\u003eThe April Theses\u003c\/i\u003e, which lifts politics from the level of everyday banalities to become an art-form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Communist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e“Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution.

This landmark edition includes a new introduction by Tariq Ali, showing how the Russian Revolution changed the world and the horizon of political change, and why its ambition is still relevant today.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“The April Theses”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e“We must take the initiative in creating a revolutionary International, an International against the social-chauvinists and against the ‘Centre.’”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Lenin’s \u003ci\u003eApril Theses\u003c\/i\u003e, written in April 1917, he presented his ten directives, and they became the key programme for the revolution carried out that year.
