Abstract
Marx and Engels maintained that the Communists are distinguished from the other working class parties in that:
-
(a)
In the national struggles of the proletarians of the different countries, they point out and bring to the front the common interests of the entire proletariat, regardless of nationality.
-
(b)
In the various stages of development which the struggle of the working class against the bourgeoisie has to pass through, they always and everywhere represent the interests of the movement as a whole.1
