Since Marx and Engels first developed their analysis of capitalism and explained the revolutionary potential for the working class, the socialist revolution has been understood as a global task. Following through on their conclusions, Marx and Engels participated in the first attempts to build an International. This book sketches the history of the struggle to build a world party from the time of Marx and Engels down to today and the continuation of that work under the banner of the Committee for a Workers’ International.
