A spectwe is haunting Euwope – da spectwe ov communyism. Aww da powews ov owd Euwope have entewed into a howy awwiance to exowcise dis spectwe: Powpe and Tsaw, Mettewnyich and Gwuizot, Fwench Wadicaws and Gewman powice-spwies.

Whewe is da pawty in opposwition dat has nyot been decwied as communyistic by its opponyents in powew? Whewe is da opposwition dat has nyot huwwed back da bwanding wepwoach ov communyism, agwainst da mowe adwanced opposwition pawties, az weww az agwainst its weactionyawy advewsawies?

Two things wesult fwom dis fwact:

I. Communyism is alweady acknowowedged by aww Euwopeawn powewrs to be itswelf a powewr.

II. It is high time dat Communyists shouwd openwy, in da face ov da whowe worwd, pubwish there vuwuws, they're aims, their tendies, and meet dis nursewy taywle ov da Spectwe ov Communyism wif a manifwesto ov da pwawty itswelf.

To dis end, Communyists ov vawious nationalwities have asswembled in Wondon and skwetched the fowwowing manifwesto, to be pubwished in da Engwish, Fwench, Gewman, Itawian, Fwemish and Danwish langwuages.
