"Critique of the Gotha Programme"

MARGINAL NOTES TO THE PROGRAM OF THE GERMAN WORKERS' PARTY

by KARL MARX

Written April-May 1875, Marx sent the critique to Wilhelm Bracke (with an accompanying cover letter, included at the end) asking it be submitted to the Social-Democratic Workers' party leaders. They were soon to meet the Lassalle-founded General Association of German Workers at Gotha, May 22-27, 1875. This Congress would unite the groups into the Socialist Labor party, later the powerful German Social-Democratic party.

Marx and Engels - Heroes of the Exile

HEROES OF THE EXILE

KARL MARX and FREDERICK ENGELS

Written between May and June 1852. First published in 1930 by Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow in Vol. 5 of the Marx-Engels Archive. This edition was in Russian translation; the first edition of the German original had to wait for the German Werke Vol. 8, of 1960.

Not often one can use a word like hilarious with Karl and Fred (though Fred was usually a much more lively and rapid writer), but Heroes of the Exile can be very funny. Wasn't published in his lifetime, though he intended it to be... (that is, it wasn't an "unfinished work" in the sense the Economic and Philsophical Manuscripts were, say). Written in 1852.

The Dutchess of Sutherland and Slavery - Karl Marx

Newspaper article written by Marx in 1853. It deals with Scottish
"clearings".
Marx thought this a very telling story, indeed. Much of the article would find itself reprinted in _Capital_, v.1 -- see part 8, chapter 27 -- over a decade later. THE DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND AND SLAVERY

London, Friday, January 21, 1853
During the present momentary slackness in political affairs, the address of the Stafford House Assembly of Ladies to their sisters in America upon the subject of Negro-Slavery, and the "affectionate and Christian address of many thousands of the women of the United States of America to their sisters, the women of England", upon white slavery, have proved a god-send to the press.
