The real history of the communist manifesto goes back to the early modern and the prophetic mysticism of Munzer and Winstanley, and Marx/Engels must have sensed this.
This is a curiously apt discussion and history of the famous Communist Manifesto of Marx/Engels. The notion of the 'poetry of the revolution' springs from the classic 18th Brumaire written in the wake of the failed revolutions of 1848. The idea springs to life in the way Marc criticizes the 1848 revolutions as being stuck in the past, attempted imitations of the French Revolution. The notion is really a demand to project a poesis or creativity in the revolutionary future. Here the curiously significant connection with art manifestos such as the manifesto of Futurism puts the exclamation mark to the need to transcend revolutionary dynamics with a creative action that realizes a real future as an aesthetic challenge to mechanics, and the exposure of the false present as a zombie of mechanized 'faces/persons'.
Although I only became aware of this book after writing Toward a New Communist Manifesto (Amazon/John Landon) it expresses well the idea that the marxist left is in danger of making the same mistake seen by Marx in the period 1848. The left is looking backward at the creative manifestations of the early internationale. But history is in motion and at the end of capitalism a futurist vision of its successor must be more than Marx shibboleths and be able to bring an aesthetic in the real sense of praxis as 'poesis' to the creative future.
