Communist League

The Communist League was an international organization formed in 1847 to promote communist ideals and unite workers against capitalism. It was founded in London by various socialist groups, including notable figures like Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. The League played a crucial role in the development of communist theory, notably publishing the "Communist Manifesto" in 1848, which outlined the principles of communism and called for the working class to rise against their oppressors. The League aimed to spread revolutionary ideas across Europe and laid the groundwork for future communist movements. It dissolved in the early 1850s amid political repression.
