Karl Marx (1818–1883) was the founding leader, along with Frederick Engels, of the modern revolutionary workers movement. Together with Engels he drafted the Communist Manifesto, the program of that movement. A founder of the Communist League (1848–52), Marx played a prominent role in the 1848–49 revolution in Germany. He was the founding leader of the General Council of the International Working Men’s Association (1864–76), often called the First International. The writings of Marx and Engels have provided the political foundation for the actions of proletarian revolutionists worldwide for more than a century and a half.
