KARL MARX’S THEORY OF REVOLUTION
VOLUME V — WAR & REVOLUTION
.....
Marx and Engels addressed two meetings of “the Democracy” memorializing Polish insurrections in the year preceding the Manifesto. The first was in London on November 29, 1847; the occasion was the seventeenth anniversary of the 1830 uprising. On this occasion, neither Marx nor Engels had much to say about Poland! They mainly took the opportunity to emphasize the international and social character of the coming revolution. Engels’ only reference to Poland emphasized the responsibility of Germans to oppose the German occupation of Poland and went on to stress the international character of the movement. It was Marx who “internationalized” the issue of Polish independence and emphasized its relation to the “social question.”
The old Poland is lost in any case and we would be the last to wish for its restoration. But it is not only the old Poland that is lost. The old Germany, the old France, the old England, the whole of the old society is lost. But the loss of the old society is no loss for those who have nothing to lose in the old society, and this is the case of the great majority in all countries at the present time.27
