The Communists, therefore, are on the one hand, practically, the

most advanced and resolute section of the working-class parties

of every country, that section which pushes forward all others;

on the other hand, theoretically, they have over the great mass

of the proletariat the advantage of clearly understanding the

line of march, the conditions, and the ultimate general results

of the proletarian movement.

The immediate aim of the Communist is the same as that of all the

other proletarian parties: formation of the proletariat into a

class, overthrow of the bourgeois supremacy, conquest of

political power by the proletariat.
