- Wednesday 12 November. Chapter 2: II: Proletarians and Communists
- Wednesday 19 November. Chapter 3: Socialist and Communist Literature
- Wednesday 26 November. Chapter 4: Position of the Communists in Relation to the Various Existing Opposition Parties
Once we have completed the Manifesto (4 weeks), participants will vote on the next Marxist text to read.
