Helen Mcfarlane was a radical journalist, admired by Karl Marx, who was the first translator of the Communist Manifesto into English. But why did she vanish from history?
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a period drama must be in want of a feisty heroine who finds love at last.
But our heroine, Helen Macfarlane was no fictional character and her life would have shocked Jane Austen's smocks off.
Helen was the very first translator of the Communist Manifesto. Not the one we know today, but a version that carries her own unique voice.
Her version begins: "A frightful hobgoblin stalks throughout Europe. We are haunted by a ghost, the ghost of Communism..."
She was moonlighting as a revolutionary journalist, writing under the male pen-name 'Howard Morton' in the fiery pages of 'The Red Republican', one of the very earliest Socialist newspapers.
Going from reading the Green's manifesto to Reforms is such a punch in the gut, I think my reading order was perhaps a bit flawed
If you want to read something political, my personal suggestion is the Conquest of Bread. I guarantee you'll get more from it than any political party manifesto.
This is how many bullets they shot on a fucking kid.

Sad news to report: Julien Terzics, the French anti-fascist, former Red Warrior (legendary crew that fought against neo-nazis in the streets) and drummer for world-renknowned oi! band, Brigada Flores Magon, has succumbed to cancer. Rest In Power, comrade. REMEMBERING MEANS FIGHTING!
