Karl Marx and Frederick Engels
Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League
London, March 1850
"Even where there is no prospect of achieving their election the workers must
put up their own candidates to preserve their independence, to gauge their
own strength and to bring their revolutionary position and party standpoint to
public attention. They must not be led astray by the empty phrases of the
democrats, who will maintain that the workers' candidates will split the 
democratic
party and offer the forces of reaction the chance of victory. All such talk
means, in the final analysis, that the proletariat is to be swindled. The
progress which the proletarian party will make by operating independently in 
this
way is infinitely more important than the disadvantages resulting from the
presence of a few reactionaries in the representative body..."
