Since 1830 France had been ruled by the Orleanist faction of the monarchy. It was more liberal than the Bourbons; but "it was not the French bourgeoisie as a whole which ruled but only one fraction of it - bankers, stock-market barons, railway barons, owners of coal and iron mines and forests, a section of landed proprietors... the so-called financial aristocracy" (Marx).

A basic introduction to the history and the ideas of the socialist movement. You may well of heard of Karl Marx - he was one of the most significant thinkers in human history. Marx’s life work was to pull together a scientific theory of how society works, how it had developed and how all this was shaped by the conflict between different classes. These ideas, Marxism, is the basic framework and understanding with which revolutionary socialists look at the world and look to change it.

This is the first of a series of weekly discussion groups looking at the Communist Manifesto on the Isle of Wight.
A reading group on the Communist Manifesto organised by Workers' Liberty on the Isle of Wight

Written in 1848 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it sets out the politics of the Communist League, and lays out the fundamental ideas behind revolutionary socialist politics.
This Workers' Liberty reading group will look at the Communist Manifesto, discuss what it says, and see what useful lessons it holds for socialists today.
