May—June,—July 2001
July, 2001: All this month we have been working hard on correcting link problems -- our annual spring cleaning task.

By September, we plan to ready our 2001 Marxists CD Archive for widespread distribution.

of MECW - the whole first stage of their lives, from youth to philosophical
investigations to the Communist Manifesto and the Revolutions of 1848 and exile.

1 May, 2001:
The Complete Correspondence for Marx and Engels up to December 1849 has now been
loaded. Together with the 300 footnotes, these letters provide a marvellous window into Marx and Engels' lives while they worked out their political position, established the Communist League, launchedNeue Rheinische Zeitung and drafted the Communist Manifesto. You can read their candid evaluations of their
political associates, their continual aggravation with money, censors, police,
publishers, and so on. ...
