The Communists turn their attention chiefly to Germany, because

that country is on the eve of a bourgeois revolution that is

bound to be carried out under more advanced conditions of

European civilisation, and with a much more developed

proletariat, than that of England was in the seventeenth, and of

France in the eighteenth century, and because the bourgeois

revolution in Germany will be but the prelude to an immediately

following proletarian revolution.

In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary

movement against the existing social and political order of

things.

In all these movements they bring to the front, as the leading

question in each, the property question, no matter what its

degree of development at the time.

Finally, they labour everywhere for the union and agreement of

the democratic parties of all countries.
