Not a Socialist, But a Marxist?

I was being a bit flippant about Abe having a daily reading of Das Kapital. Taking my time, I should have written The Manifesto written 1848

I was recently reading (on this forum maybe) about a letter Marx and his mates sent, after much re-writing, to Lincoln. I'll search for the link.

Mick,
The Wikipedia article on the Communist Manifesto you linked to itself says that the Manifesto, even though written in 1848, remained obscure until the late 1860's - early 1870's which is still after Lincoln's death and around when the first volume of Das Kapital was printed.
