“... If you look at the last chapter of my Eighteenth Brumaire you will find that I say that the next attempt of the French revolution will be no longer, as before, to transfer the bureaucratic-military machine from one hand to another, but to smash it, and this is essential for every real people's revolution on the Continent. And this is what our heroic Party comrades in Paris are attempting.” [Letter to Kugelmann, April 1871]

Neither Liebknecht nor anyone else has let us have any kind of information, and hence we too know only what is in the papers -- not that there was anything in them until a week or so ago, when the draft programme appeared.

“In a little villa at Haverstock Hill, lives Karl Marx, the cornerstone of modern socialism. He was exiled from his native country -- Germany -- in 1844, for propagating revolutionary theories. ... Judging from the appearance of his home, they certainly have not brought him affluence. Persistently during all these years he has advocated his views with an earnestness which undoubtedly springs from a firm belief in them, and, however much we may deprecate their propagation, we cannot but respect to a certain extent the self-denial of the now venerable exile.” [Interview with Chicago Tribune]
