1
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,007
In early 1843, Europe,
ruled by absolute monarchs,
2
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,524
wracked by crises, famine and recession,
is on the verge of change.
3
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,282
In England, the industrial revolution
transforms the world's order
4
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,649
and creates the new proletarian class.
5
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,081
Workers' organizations are founded,
6
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,887
based on a "communist" utopia
in which all men are brothers.
7
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,801
Two young Germans
will disrupt this notion,
8
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,846
thereby transforming the struggle...
and the world's future.
9
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,727
THE YOUNG KARL MARX
10
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,963
To gather green wood,
11
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,247
one must rip it violently
from the living tree.
12
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,881
Yet gathering dead wood
13
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,730
removes nothing from the property.
14
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,287
Only what is already separated
15
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,204
is removed from the property.
16
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,526
Despite this essential difference,
you call both acts theft
17
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,371
and punish them as such.
18
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,204
Montesquieu names
two kinds of corruption.
19
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,409
One when the people
do not observe the laws.
20
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,846
The other
when the laws corrupt them.
21
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,764
You have erased the difference
between theft and gathering.
22
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,961
But you are wrong to believe
it is in your interest.
23
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,449
The people see the punishment,
but not the crime.
24
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,169
Cologne, April 1843
25
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,522
And, as they do not see a crime...
26
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,364
when they are punished,
27
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,204
you should fear them,
28
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,048
for they will take revenge.
29
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,842
So, Karl, satisfied?
30
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,881
Am I satisfied, Stirner?
31
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,841
I don't know.
32
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,566
It's partly due to you
that it's come to this.
33
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,171
Two things satisfy me:
34
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,408
that my article
has had an effect
35
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,405
and that Prussian despotism
reveals itself at last.
36
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,405
- Yes, that satisfies me.
- And the paper...
37
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,086
Gagged and dismantled
our words muzzled.
38
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,408
- Us imprisoned.
- What could I do?
39
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,691
Remain silent? Censor myself?
40
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,848
Be content with allusions like you?
41
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,565
- Very smart!
- Be fair.
42
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,331
What are we victims of?
Our success.
43
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,166
Success that we owe above all
to Karl's writings!
44
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,569
And what is the result?
We're finished!
45
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,125
A fine success! Bravo!
46
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,809
Don't open the door!
47
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,287
If they break it down,
they'll slaughter us!
48
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,646
- So?
- Stop it!
49
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:07,241
Shut your mouth! Enough.
50
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,209
Why are we trembling?
51
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,209
They can kill the Rheinische Zeitung,
they can try to gag us,
52
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,402
but they cannot kill thought!
53
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,847
We won't surrender!
We'll found...
54
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,804
- A new paper?
- Yes.
55
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,446
- We'll find funds...
- With the same nonsense?
56
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,967
The Rheinische Zeitung,
nonsense?
57
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,731
Scribbles urging world revolution,
58
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,888
devoid of ideas and concepts.
59
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,006
What do you do?
60
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,249
Produce some vague understatements,
61
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,602
vague literary reviews,
62
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,848
vague socialist theories.
63
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,407
Take that back!
I'm sick of your arrogance.
64
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,005
We all are!
65
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,320
Right...
66
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,370
I'm sick of you too, Bauer,
and all you Young Hegelians,
67
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,682
"free thinkers"
as you call yourselves.
68
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,769
Have fun, you clowns!
69
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,884
No, Ruge!
I've enough fighting with pins.
70
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,605
I want a sledgehammer!
71
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,566
Enough hypocrisy, stupidity
and brutal authority.
72
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,047
They've banned us? Good!
73
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,924
What are you doing?
74
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,361
A few nights in jail
will do us good.
75
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,523
Gentlemen, I'm all yours.
76
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,371
- Come along!
- Hands off me!
77
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,165
Hurry it up!
78
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,371
- I have an offer for you...
- Quiet!
79
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,888
I want to start a new journal.
80
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,288
Different, freer.
81
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,803
More modern, bolder.
82
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,131
What would you say to Paris?
83
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,042
Manchester, England
84
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,648
They took the lids off the steam looms.
People got burnt.
85
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,241
This has to stop!
It's intolerable!
86
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,048
Ermen & Engels Mill
87
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,447
Who cut the belts?
88
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,370
Ten to one
it was those Irish dogs.
89
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,444
- What about Roisin?
- Yeah, what about Roisin?
90
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,765
The girl who fell asleep at the loom
and got her fingers cut off, eh?
91
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,447
Who'll give her back her fingers?
92
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,364
- May I?
- Be quiet.
93
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,288
It'll teach her to pay more attention.
You lot are paid to work, not to sleep.
94
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,688
- We do work!
- Careful.
95
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,641
- You're stirring them up.
- Paid?
96
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,846
She hadn't slept in three days,
and now she can go off and die?
97
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,327
- Call that a job?
- Quiet!
98
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,364
The repairs
will be docked from your wages.
99
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,527
That's all you get out of it.
You're lucky I don't sack the lot of you!
100
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,644
Repairing machines is expensive.
Not like labour in Manchester.
101
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,091
Ten fingers is all we're worth.
102
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,921
And if we lose them,
we're fit for the scrap heap, is that it?
103
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:42,445
She's the one
who was talking about Roisin.
104
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:45,251
- She's the ringleader.
- What was her name?
105
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,410
Ask me, boss.
I have a mouth myself.
106
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,002
A big one too, by the sound of it.
107
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,247
My name is Mary Burns.
108
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,931
I was born in Tipperary, and now
109
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,001
a slave at the Ermen and Engels
Spinning Mill in Manchester, England.
110
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,648
Get rid of her.
111
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,247
She can find her food elsewhere.
112
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,568
You heard him. Get out!
113
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,090
And anyone else
with big ideas can go with her.
114
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,841
You have to weed out the bad apples.
I want a list...
115
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,803
of all the troublemakers
and rabble-rousers.
116
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,811
Father, don't you think that's enough?
117
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,281
You want to tell me
how to run a factory?
118
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,525
No, Father.
119
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,249
That is not my ambition...
120
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,167
- Hey!
- Maybe next time.
121
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,846
- Excuse me. What's in there?
- In there?
122
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,601
- The Irish.
- Alright, thank you.
123
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,531
If I were you, I'd avoid it.
124
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,690
Let me introduce myself.
125
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,564
- We know who you are.
- Shut up.
126
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,569
Why are you talking to him?
127
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,410
- He's the boss's son.
- Who? Which boss?
128
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,090
He's the Engels son
from Ermen and Engels mills
129
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,329
on Regent Road and Bridgewater.
130
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:17,366
Where we worked our fingers to the bone
till today, when we got sacked.
131
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,161
Yes, I am the Engels son.
132
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,891
My first name's Friedrich,
but you can call me Fred, or Freddy.
133
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,771
What do you want?
This is no place for you.
134
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,011
There's plenty of pubs across the Irwell
for gentlemen like you.
135
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,806
Gentlemen who throw us out like dogs.
136
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:38,081
Like the Irish dogs we are.
137
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,244
- We're all Irish dogs here, right, Paddy?
- Yeah.
138
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,448
And I know one who'll spit his baccy juice
all over this gentleman's shiny boots.
139
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,728
- Mind yourself.
- I'd get over it.
140
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,124
And please stop calling me a gentleman.
I'm neither English nor a gentleman.
141
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,004
You don't say.
142
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,121
I hate and despise gentlemen.
143
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,048
They are swine who grow fat
on the sweat of labourers.
144
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,561
He's making fun of us.
145
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:14,451
You know what I think, fellas?
I think he came to have a laugh at us.
146
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,088
- He's got nerves.
- I've come here to enlist your help.
147
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,086
- That's why I came.
- He wants to enlist us?
148
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,250
- What sort of a list will that be?
- I'm writing a book.
149
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,728
- I need first-hand accounts.
- A book? He's writing a book?
150
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,164
About the condition of the working class
in Manchester and Leeds.
151
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,207
Is that a gold clock you got there?
152
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,280
- Whose sweat bought you this?
- Okay, Paddy.
153
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:53,651
- Let's not make a big fuss about this.
- You want a first-hand account?
154
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,920
Well, here's a worker's hand, see?
155
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,125
You'll get it on your gentleman's nose
if you don't get out right now.
156
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,527
So be gone.
157
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,447
What if I'd rather stay?
158
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,968
You alright, mister?
159
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,729
You hurt?
160
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,440
Yes...
161
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,162
Wonderfully!
162
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,767
Paris, July 1844
163
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,890
What is it, Alphonsine?
164
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,447
Nothing, Madam Jenny, she woke.
165
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,451
Leave her with me.
166
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,051
I don't trust little Alphonsine.
167
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,323
She steals from us,
she snoops, she's false...
168
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,521
Let her steal.
We owe her two months' pay.
169
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,805
Lenchen...
170
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,086
My Lenchen.
171
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,327
If Lenchen could join us here...
172
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,884
You miss Trier.
173
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,080
No.
174
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,371
I miss Lenchen.
175
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,043
She learnt French in Metz.
176
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,444
Your loyal servant,
your big house, your huge estate,
177
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,931
your beloved family.
I took you away. For what?
178
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,244
I can't even get Ruge to pay me!
179
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,800
Karl...
180
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,567
Do you know what your worst flaw is?
181
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,760
Go on.
182
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,649
- You're unfair.
- I am?
183
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,605
Yes, unfair with others.
184
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,610
With me. With Ruge.
185
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,441
Ruge pays badly,
but he gave us Paris.
186
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,684
He gave you to me. Without this trip,
we wouldn't be married.
187
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,167
You think that without Paris...
188
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,726
I'm happy, Karl.
189
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,721
...if they don't accept the fact
190
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,447
That we love each other
191
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,524
Then good night!
192
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,083
Even if it annoys people
193
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,001
Even if it annoys people
194
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,281
I love you all the same...
195
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,722
You have to introduce your mother
to her granddaughter one day.
196
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,243
- I should return to Trier?
- Not for long.
197
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,769
Perhaps I could obtain
some money from Mother.
198
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,964
- Yes.
- Why not? It's an idea.
199
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Karl...
200
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,964
If Jennychen and I
are too much of a burden...
201
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,128
- Now you're being unfair.
- No.
202
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,049
It's a wonderful idea.
203
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,768
My reactionary brother will be delighted
to see me come home to beg.
204
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:53,931
Forget what I said.
205
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:56,361
I can already hear his sermons
206
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:02,164
on his sister's misalliance
with that damn socialist atheist Jew
207
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:06,160
who cannot even feed his family
with his subversive writings.
208
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:10,888
I shall tell you everything!
You'll hear every last bitter word.
209
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,607
All right.
210
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,765
You win.
211
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,008
I'm working on two books.
212
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,765
Plus my articles.
213
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,161
You should tidy up.
214
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:31,801
Here.
215
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,561
As for Ruge...
216
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,731
You're too patient.
217
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,880
He isn't poor.
218
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,361
He has shares
in the Cologne-Antwerp railway.
219
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:45,960
Ruge?
220
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,807
Yes, everyone knows.
221
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,650
I didn't know.
222
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,362
Try my cigars! Toscanis!
223
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,762
Londres! Coronas!
224
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,126
Cigars!
225
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:11,926
Cigars!
226
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,160
A cigar.
227
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:18,842
Choose, citizen.
Robusta, Corona, Londres...
228
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,965
Cheaper...
229
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,281
This one.
230
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:26,407
Three sous, if you can smoke it.
231
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,800
Two for five?
232
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,086
Citizens!
233
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,443
I shall give the floor
to a man from Lyons
234
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,765
who honours us with his presence.
Our dear and great Proudhon!
235
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,720
Friends, comrades, citizens!
236
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,809
I'm delighted to be here with you
at this republican banquet.
237
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,923
Long live Proudhon!
238
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:57,920
They wanted to ban these banquets
for they fear your anger,
239
00:20:58,120 --> 00:20:59,963
and so they should!
240
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,160
That's true!
241
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,403
For the people
always outnumber the police,
242
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,325
just as the thirst for freedom
exceeds repression!
243
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,722
- Down with Guizot!
- Up with craftsmen!
244
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:10,648
It's you!
245
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,047
You are the craftsmen,
246
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,720
the weavers, the cobblers,
247
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,082
the tailors, the carpenters,
248
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,442
who create this country's wealth!
249
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,250
What about the workers?
250
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,091
The navvies, the mechanics,
the smelters!
251
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,805
I'm not forgetting them!
252
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,446
Those men, women and children
253
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,651
chained to the new machines
of fire and brimstone
254
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:38,444
without enough bread at times
to keep up their strength...
255
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,365
I'll say it clearly and simply!
256
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,364
They're being murdered!
257
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,889
And now to my subject...
258
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,242
What is slavery?
259
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,964
If I reply that it's murder,
you immediately agree.
260
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,722
So when I ask,
"What is property?",
261
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,845
if I reply that it's theft,
must I continually explain myself?
262
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,042
Property? But which property?
263
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,368
Private, bourgeois property?
264
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,201
I know that man. He's Karl Marx.
265
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,045
Property in general,
266
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,130
given as a natural right like liberty,
267
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,685
equality or security.
268
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,325
They're abstractions.
269
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,925
They're rights!
270
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,726
Natural rights!
271
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,080
The liberty, equality and security
272
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,931
of each citizen,
do not affect those of all
273
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,122
but strengthen them!
274
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,243
They are natural social rights!
275
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,083
Property, on the other hand,
necessarily hampers
276
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,568
the liberty, equality and security
of others.
277
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,242
As a natural right, it is antisocial!
278
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,449
Therefore I do not demand
its extension to all,
279
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,729
but simply its abolition!
280
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,285
Bravo! Viva!
281
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,282
Down with property, the king, the state!
282
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,090
Long live anarchy!
283
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,847
Yes, Mikhail, I agree with you.
284
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,930
But, careful,
enemy ears are listening.
285
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,446
Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin.
286
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,965
You found fault with the Master.
287
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,124
They call him the Master.
288
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,164
I know no master, no god, no king.
289
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:36,170
Karl Marx. I'm no anarchist.
290
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:37,930
I thought as much.
291
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:41,329
I read The German-French Annals.
Your hand.
292
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,965
I sense the blood
stirring in a man's veins.
293
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,686
And it stirs in the veins
of your writing.
294
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,810
You read The Annals?
Why not write for them?
295
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,570
Proudhon, allow me to introduce Marx
296
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,524
of The German-French Annals.
297
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,767
- Hello.
- Marx!
298
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:02,521
Delighted.
299
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,690
My wife, Jenny.
300
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,564
- Delighted.
- Hello.
301
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,161
Gr�n translates The Annals for me.
302
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:10,964
He must betray them then.
303
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,091
- You enjoy argument, young man.
- Contradiction, rather.
304
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,762
- True, you're a Hegelian.
- A materialist above all.
305
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,008
You didn't answer me about property.
306
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,601
I defined it, I believe.
307
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,250
And theft?
How do you define that?
308
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,680
Do we need to?
309
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,884
We all know it's the violation
of another's goods.
310
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,606
- I'm sorry, my French...
- Your French is good.
311
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,802
Thank you. So...
312
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,731
property is the same thing?
313
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,407
You say property is theft.
314
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,527
When I steal someone's property,
what am I stealing from?
315
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:49,767
Theft?
316
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,804
You pretend not to understand,
I presume.
317
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,161
Karl never pretends.
318
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,922
He is saying
that your phrase is an image.
319
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:01,646
A fine image, but, as you French say,
320
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,968
an image chasing its own tail.
321
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,570
You both speak truly excellent French.
322
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,890
Don't they, Gr�n?
323
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,610
Excellent news, my friends!
The Faubourg St-Antoine is in flames!
324
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,290
What happened?
325
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,081
It all began with one cobbler.
326
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,689
He took a three-franc piece to his boss.
327
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,851
The boss found it shabby
and offered him fifty sous.
328
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,244
But the fellow refuses.
329
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,249
The bastard throws him out.
330
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,808
The cobbler returns with his comrades
to smash everything.
331
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,085
Now the police, the league
and the National Guard are involved!
332
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,846
It's a riot!
333
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,250
Weitling, calm down.
The Faubourg riots every day.
334
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,601
It's no revolution.
335
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,962
No, but it's heating up.
336
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,242
I'm looking for Arnold Ruge...
337
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,081
He lives next door.
Take that door.
338
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,202
You know there's a spy outside?
339
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,402
- The man in the filthy scarf?
- Yes.
340
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,449
Hard not to spot him.
341
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,369
A compatriot of yours?
342
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,764
You know that boy?
343
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,160
No.
344
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,200
What will you do
about the spy opposite?
345
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,642
He notes entries and exits.
What can I do about it?
346
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,207
I could go and beat him up.
347
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,129
It wouldn't bother me.
348
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,401
Certainly not!
349
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,243
We're tolerated here,
but must not make waves.
350
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,128
Shall I serve you too, darling?
351
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,800
Just a finger, darling, just a finger.
352
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:07,281
Excellent.
353
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,330
Truly excellent.
354
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,446
However, I can't pay you right away.
355
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,001
- I'm sorry.
- I have enough to keep going.
356
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,565
That's good.
357
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,444
- May I?
- Of course.
358
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,321
It's a pleasure working with you.
Unlike others.
359
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,881
Who are you thinking of?
Feuerbach?
360
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,080
Feuerbach?
361
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,007
He owes me an article. No...
362
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:30,360
Marx.
363
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,006
Ah, him...
364
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,889
Do you know him?
365
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,767
We met in Berlin.
366
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,247
Doing a paper with that fellow!
367
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,046
- Impossible, isn't he?
- You said it!
368
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,561
His articles are never ready.
369
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,967
He always wants to improve them.
370
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,288
The man is a lout too.
371
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,729
To think I said
I'd put him and his wife up...
372
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,844
His wife. My God, his wife!
373
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,407
A fury or a fishwife?
374
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,449
Who are you talking about?
375
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,762
You know there's a spy outside?
376
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,166
So it seems.
377
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:12,249
Karl, allow me to introduce
378
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:13,805
Friedrich Engels.
379
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:21,009
Haven't we met before?
380
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,086
My kitchen...
381
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:30,726
Berlin!
382
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,568
- At Bettina von Arnim's salon!
- Precisely.
383
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,365
You were arrogant.
384
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,362
- Perhaps. I was young.
- And rich.
385
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,204
And you showed it.
386
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,131
- I don't remember that.
- I do.
387
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,331
You spoke
as if you invented Communism,
388
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,882
with your officer's epaulettes
and gold buttons...
389
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,281
It was risible!
390
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,045
Why brood on the past?
391
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,242
- Let's turn to the future.
- Indeed.
392
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,324
You know why I'm here.
393
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,849
I told you, my situation...
394
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,201
Spare me that!
395
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,210
I have a sick child
and a family to feed.
396
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,084
You owe me for two articles.
397
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,329
- Listen to me...
- And your railway shares?
398
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,090
- The price has dropped.
- Too bad, sell at a loss!
399
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,001
I gave you two fundamental articles,
pay what you owe me.
400
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,565
Ruge, do you need a loan?
401
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,240
- Who asked you?
- I spoke to Ruge.
402
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,161
- I won't take a single sou from a...
- From a...?
403
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,089
From some wealthy amateur
404
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,126
who seeks amusement
by frequenting those worse off.
405
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,884
Please... Wait here for me.
406
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,289
- I'll see what I can find...
- Yes, do that.
407
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,128
You seem to know me well.
408
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,642
Have you read my writings?
409
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,126
I've read yours.
410
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,201
Notably your
Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right.
411
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,606
I couldn't care less.
412
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:14,881
Really?
413
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,922
An 1839 Chablis...
414
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,530
An excellent host, Ruge,
even if he doesn't pay...
415
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,326
Right?
416
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,163
I've never read anything so precise
417
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,249
and also so gripping.
418
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,363
You have put Hegelian dialectic
back on its feet.
419
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,402
I'm 24.
You can't be much older...
420
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,167
You're the greatest materialist thinker
of our times.
421
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,727
You're a genius, my dear fellow.
422
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,130
A genius.
423
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,769
Your investigation
of the English proletariat...
424
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,528
The Condition of the Working Class
in England? Yes.
425
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,845
That's mine.
426
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,329
May I be frank?
427
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,285
Go ahead.
428
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,124
I can take it.
429
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,806
It's a first class piece of work.
430
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,128
No one had done it before.
431
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,961
In short...
432
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,684
it's colossal.
433
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,041
Karl...
434
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,251
Better than your cheap muck, isn't it?
435
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,680
It's different.
436
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,847
Your knowledge of the workers' world
is unrivalled...
437
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,682
Manchester, the slums, the factories...
438
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:24,248
You know both the workers' misery
and upper spheres of the bourgeoisie.
439
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:25,851
How do you do it?
440
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,601
I'm ashamed to say it.
441
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,044
I'm my father's signatory.
442
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,971
He has three mills there
with a partner,
443
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,128
and ten others in Barmen.
444
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,968
All right, but the rest?
445
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,882
- The workers' lives?
- Yes.
446
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,050
That's something else.
447
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,924
A love affair.
448
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,369
Are your papers in order?
449
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,284
I have my passport somewhere.
450
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:04,850
Let's not risk it.
451
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,769
They're edgy with foreigners,
especially Germans.
452
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,245
Just follow me.
453
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,446
Keep moving.
454
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,921
At my signal, we turn right.
455
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,200
Now!!
456
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,408
Stop! Two men with me!
457
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,560
- Leave it!
- It's an heirloom!
458
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:26,807
Stop!
459
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,331
I order you to stop!
460
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:29,721
Stop!
461
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,450
- Hello.
- What a nerve!
462
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,886
Help!
463
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:15,287
Help! The police!
464
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,371
- Help!
- Out of the way!
465
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,087
To return to your writings...
466
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,001
What you lack...
467
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,804
- If I may...
- Go on.
468
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,446
Don't take it badly.
469
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,048
Your critique of religion and idealism
will leave a mark.
470
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:14,040
But read the English economists.
Ricardo. Smith.
471
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:15,321
Bentham.
472
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,003
They're the basis of everything.
473
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,645
Do you read English?
474
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,205
I'm a fast learner.
475
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,640
Check.
476
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,881
- Another? On me.
- All right.
477
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,127
Waiter!
478
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:34,727
Two more!
479
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Right...
480
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,650
I have no choice.
481
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,211
Checkmate.
482
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,924
To minds that truly think
and to free spirits!
483
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:54,761
Cheers.
484
00:35:57,240 --> 00:35:58,571
I didn't see it.
485
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,040
Waiter!
486
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,124
I've had it with Ruge.
487
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,167
I'll give my writings to Vorw�rts.
488
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,522
I'm completely broke...
489
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,890
So am I... Waiter!
490
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,082
I'm serious, I need money.
491
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:22,370
Have I mentioned my wife?
492
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,920
Jenny?
493
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,964
The prettiest aristocrat in Trier.
494
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,364
She's a Westphalen,
495
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,570
one of the country's oldest families...
496
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:36,322
And who did she marry? Me.
497
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,248
The son of a converted Jew.
498
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,650
You've no idea
how happy she makes me.
499
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,762
- You're a lucky man.
- Yes.
500
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,451
And you?
501
00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:05,526
What?
502
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:08,291
Didn't you mention
a love in your life?
503
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,364
Complicated.
504
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,129
Cheerio!
505
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,686
All right, cheerio!
506
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:29,720
Better?
507
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,970
Not really.
508
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,325
I'll see you home.
509
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:40,641
No!
510
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,361
I'll see you home.
511
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,206
Here...
512
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,561
Thank you.
513
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,406
You know...
514
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,887
I think I've understood something.
515
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,570
Thanks to you.
516
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,125
- You've made me realize something.
- You too.
517
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,606
No, you.
518
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,126
Listen.
519
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:15,164
- Until now, philosophers...
- Ah, philosophers...
520
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,169
- Listen to me.
- Let's go.
521
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,601
Until now, philosophers
522
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,962
have simply interpreted...
523
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,088
Interpreted the world...
524
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,362
Yet it must be transformed...
525
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,124
But with what?
526
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,320
With whom?
527
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,080
Proudhon.
528
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,251
He'll help us.
529
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:44,085
Come on!
530
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,161
Karl...
531
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,524
Karl, where are you?
532
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,885
Oh, God...
533
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,124
God, my head.
534
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,809
You're leaving already?
535
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,881
Thank you for your hospitality.
536
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,846
Your... generosity.
537
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,762
- Matters to see to.
- Matters of the heart.
538
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,169
- Don't forget our matter.
- How could I?
539
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,362
We didn't just drink last night.
540
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,404
We took notes.
541
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,291
We're going to write a book together.
542
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,684
A critique of Stirner, Bauer...
543
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,247
Those sentimental Berlin Socialists.
544
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,003
The writers of the so-called
Critical Critique.
545
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,568
- We'll bring things to a head, Jenny...
- To a head?
546
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,326
Sir...
547
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,009
And the title?
548
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,645
We're just starting...
549
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,926
I imagine a title,
550
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,645
looking at you both.
551
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,130
Critique of Critical Critique.
552
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,564
"The real price of everything..."
553
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:32,281
Der wahre Preis...
"to the man who wants to acquire it,
554
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,922
is the toil and the trouble."
Die M�he und der Aufwand.
555
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,686
To acquire: erwerben.
556
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,562
To dispose and exchange it...
557
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,329
it's the toil or trouble
which he can save himself
558
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,924
and which he can impose
upon other people."
559
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,291
"Labour was the first price,
560
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,731
the original purchase money
that was paid for all things."
561
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,004
You know, Karl has adopted you.
562
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,362
He doesn't make friends easily.
563
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,366
He never brought anyone home before.
564
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,524
You're the first.
565
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:39,291
Perhaps not a very good memory for you.
566
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,808
I've read your essay.
567
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,209
It sparkles like champagne.
568
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,609
I can measure what you bring Karl.
569
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,090
The thing is...
570
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:56,611
Allow me to be frank.
He doesn't have your constitution.
571
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,366
You're athletic.
572
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,080
After drinking,
you're as fresh as a daisy,
573
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,009
but he needs days to recover.
574
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,247
So lead him wherever you like,
but please try to calm him.
575
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,090
You're an extraordinary woman, Frau Marx.
576
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,561
Jenny.
577
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,324
You're admirable.
578
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,970
You could have had a rich and idle life
579
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:26,562
with a fellow aristocrat,
basking in luxury and envy.
580
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,730
I escaped utter boredom, yes.
581
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,529
Happiness requires rebellion.
582
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:37,760
Rebellion against the establishment,
the old world. That's what I believe.
583
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,282
And I hope to see
the old world crack soon.
584
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:43,801
The two of us.
585
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,126
No.
586
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:48,208
The three of us, Jenny.
587
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,048
We'll overthrow it...
588
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,009
This old world.
589
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,006
It might take more than three of us,
don't you think?
590
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,050
My dear Marx,
as a filthy little peasant child,
591
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,405
I hoed for potatoes,
592
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:17,848
threshed wheat, kept cows...
593
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,202
Sitting is agony for me.
594
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,448
I'm doing it for you, Courbet.
595
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,808
- Honoured, Master.
- No master!
596
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,365
You paint for the people
597
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,002
and so I approve of you.
I abhor all other artists.
598
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,124
So what of Raphael, Da Vinci,
Michelangelo?
599
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:37,401
I reject them.
600
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,008
Art in the future
will be collective, for the collective.
601
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,889
Swapping bishops?
A risky strategy.
602
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,525
Go on, swap them.
603
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,005
My knight is trapped.
604
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,449
- Another game.
- That move is infallible.
605
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,445
There are no infallible moves
in chess, Dr Marx.
606
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,205
You're too sure of yourself.
607
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:01,731
Enough of this!
608
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,809
Sorry, I can't go on.
609
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,651
You've met my friend,
Friedrich Engels.
610
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,291
- We're writing about you, sir.
- Really?
611
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,241
To defend you against German supporters
of Critical Critique, Bauer and so on...
612
00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:19,042
- Your friend Gr�n too.
- They attack me?
613
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,920
- Violently.
- And you defend me?
614
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,849
You? Defending someone?
615
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,087
A low blow.
616
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,568
I believe there are two men in you.
617
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,401
The critical Proudhon,
thinking in abstract categories,
618
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,689
and the real Proudhon,
who sees real poverty.
619
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,051
- We defend the second.
- Against the first?
620
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:40,240
No.
621
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,845
For Critical Critique,
622
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,726
owning and not owning,
stupidly called "having" and "non-having"
623
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,365
are abstract ideas.
624
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,207
Like you, we say to have nothing
is not an abstract notion,
625
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,289
but a reality,
626
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,522
an appalling reality.
627
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:58,564
These days,
a man with nothing is nothing.
628
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,762
Money creates his worth.
629
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,609
That's why you were right
to analyse the economics behind that.
630
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,969
Especially as no socialist writer
had done so.
631
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:13,131
Your book is the French proletariat's
first scientific manifesto.
632
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:17,651
Thank you.
633
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,842
Let's drink to your work.
634
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:22,247
Its title?
635
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,610
The title?
636
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,601
Critique of Critical Critique.
637
00:46:31,240 --> 00:46:32,605
Very amusing.
638
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,680
It sounds very dialectical,
639
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,245
very Hegelian.
640
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,326
Assassination attempt!
641
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:32,009
Three shots fired! Assassination attempt
on Friedrich Wilhelm IV!
642
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,327
Assassination attempt
on the King of Prussia!
643
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,010
The key point...
644
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,843
is merchandise.
645
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:55,920
Work,
646
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,249
your work, can be seen as merchandise.
647
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,807
Faubourg Saint-Antoine,
Craft workers' meeting
648
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,004
Your labour is sold like merchandise
to your employer.
649
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,001
Except that you're not free.
650
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,927
You're forced to sell it to live.
651
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,885
- It's killing us!
- And sell at a low price.
652
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,402
- There'll always be bosses and workers.
- Not always!
653
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,531
Saying "there'll always be"
is a bourgeois notion.
654
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:24,121
Capital wants us to think that.
655
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,243
But everything moves.
656
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,209
Everything is subject to change.
Nothing lasts.
657
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,883
All social relations -
slavery, serfdom, salaried work -
658
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,242
are historical and transient.
659
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,648
The truth is,
current conditions must change.
660
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,683
The bourgeois is still free
to hire labour,
661
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,803
the worker still forced to sell it.
662
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,685
The bourgeois loves talking of liberty
663
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,566
but that liberty is for him,
not for you, as you know.
664
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,728
You sense it in your flesh
665
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,048
each and every day!
666
00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:05,042
So the game is not a fair one.
667
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:07,971
That is clear.
668
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:09,891
It is rigged.
669
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,003
What mistake
do reformers like Proudhon make
670
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,169
in considering equal pay for all
the goal of social revolution?
671
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:24,687
They dream of improving a system
that naturally produces poverty.
672
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,809
Not of transforming it.
673
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,968
- Proudhon is a great man!
- He is.
674
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,731
No doubt about it. A great man.
675
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,282
Not a great economist.
676
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,120
He has his place in the vast movement
rising up in New York,
677
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,244
represented here by Hermann Kriege...
678
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,651
in Brussels, London, Geneva,
679
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,605
even in Russia,
and above all in Germany,
680
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,123
the homeland
of our famous friend Weitling!
681
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,207
And where our sinister Friedrich Wilhelm
fell victim
682
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,209
to an assassination attempt.
683
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,081
That unfortunately failed.
684
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,966
And also in England,
the home of my friend Engels...
685
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,763
I'm proud to pass the floor to Weitling.
686
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,128
You didn't pull your punches.
687
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,967
My friends, this meeting...
688
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,051
About the attack?
Sorry, I had no time to let you read it.
689
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:36,325
I don't mind,
but the Prussian embassy won't like it.
690
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:40,326
- I didn't write it for them.
- Just be careful.
691
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,403
If anything happens to you,
I won't be here to defend you.
692
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,440
...different words
to get this feeling across.
693
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,121
Your trunks are already packed?
694
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:53,761
Yes.
695
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,244
Tonight, I'm in London,
tomorrow Manchester.
696
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,568
We'll miss you. Come here.
697
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,849
I'm the one who'll suffer.
698
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,407
What about your great love?
699
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,404
If only it were that...
700
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,048
Hurry back. We have work to do.
701
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,681
Our hearts beat as one!
702
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,206
In the bright sun filled with love!
703
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,690
In the bright sun of revolt!
704
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,120
Yes!
705
00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:27,811
My brothers, my friends...
706
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,162
We are one!
707
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,367
We are invincible!
708
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,044
The first floor.
709
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:38,760
Come!
710
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:40,440
Come!
711
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Hurry!
712
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,522
Mr Karl Marx?
713
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:01,401
Yes, that's me.
714
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,927
On orders of Prime Minister Guizot,
715
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,203
in the King's name,
you are expelled from France.
716
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,682
The King of France or of Prussia?
717
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:10,880
He's being witty.
718
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,011
Leave within 24 hours.
719
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,531
You must be joking!
720
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:16,605
You think so?
721
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,009
Your passports.
722
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,843
Within 24 hours.
723
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:03,928
To go where?
724
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,769
Where?
725
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,808
We have to sell everything.
726
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,731
- In one day?
- We have no choice.
727
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,969
They've all been expelled:
Bakunin, Hess...
728
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:40,965
Even Ruge.
729
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,124
My darling?
730
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,444
Are you ill?
731
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:12,566
I...
732
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,370
I'm expecting again.
733
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,963
Yes, Father?
734
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,009
How are you?
735
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,688
How are you?
736
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,611
- I'm surviving.
- I call it "being useful".
737
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,122
I pay you for it, rather well.
738
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,763
Is there something you wanted to tell me?
739
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:37,762
People in my London club, ask after you.
My friend Naylor often says,
740
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,321
"What's young Freddie up to?"
741
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:44,804
- I can't lie. What should I tell him?
- Whatever you like, Father.
742
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:51,724
Tell him I go fox hunting, play cards
and work hard for you.
743
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,728
What if he shows me that?
744
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,242
What should I tell him?
That it's a work of religion?
745
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,684
- It's not what you think.
- Don't play with me.
746
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,726
It is not a satire on religion.
It's against the Young Hegelians,
747
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:14,369
- a subversive group.
- You have no respect for anyone, or me,
748
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,970
but don't treat me like an idiot.
As if you're against subversive groups.
749
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,082
It was going to be called
"Critique of Critical Critique".
750
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,726
Marx added The Holy Family
without asking.
751
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:26,960
Marx!
752
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,526
Your name linked to a Marx...
753
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,531
May I ask you to give us a moment?
754
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,123
You have fine friends.
755
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,763
I have none better.
756
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,930
- You've no idea of his worth.
- Don't provoke me!
757
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,649
I respectfully ask you
not to judge me.
758
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:59,526
Let's keep this professional.
I'm your signatory
759
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,723
and you pay me as such.
760
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,531
To do you a favour, remember.
761
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,289
My patience has limits.
762
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,521
As soon as I get back,
you start threatening me?
763
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,170
I'm not threatening you.
764
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:19,445
I'm warning you.
765
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,567
Your brother and sister
are being confirmed next week.
766
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,366
I presume you don't wish
to receive Communion,
767
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:40,128
Father, why ask me a question
you already know the answer to?
768
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,801
How did this demon get into you?
769
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,651
We go to church, we go to work
770
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:54,125
and you laze about in dens of evil,
with communists and loose women!
771
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,331
I'm not done!
Where are you going?
772
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,448
To get some fresh air.
773
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,125
I'm suffocating.
774
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:11,929
What do I tell your mother?
775
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,046
Do you want a tube, sir?
For your cigars.
776
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,283
For cigars?
777
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,400
Nice work. How old are you?
778
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,889
I don't know, sir.
Some say ten, some say eight.
779
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,964
I'd say six at the most.
Thank you.
780
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:47,041
Where are they?
781
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,722
Hey, wait!
782
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:08,604
It's you!
783
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,245
God!
784
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,087
- It is you!
- It's me.
785
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,923
Shorty, this is Frederic.
He's not a loan shark.
786
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,248
Who is he?
787
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:31,048
Well, when he isn't running around giving
money to little rascals,
788
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,921
he's my man.
789
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:37,203
- Lizzy, Frederic is back.
- Hello, Frederic.
790
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,646
- Just off the boat, are you?
- I got in three days ago.
791
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,006
Three days?
792
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,289
And you only just come round?
You rotter.
793
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:56,683
You don't know my dad...
Or rather, you do know my dad.
794
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,442
He's a walking prison.
795
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,327
- I only just broke out.
- It's a shame
796
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:06,565
we don't have a pint of good beer
in the house to celebrate.
797
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,686
Would you give Shorty another guinea?
He's deserved it.
798
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,846
- Blooming heck!
- Now run along.
799
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,561
- I want to be alone with my man.
- Thanks, sir!
800
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,764
You're welcome.
801
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:58,121
How are things coming on here?
Any movement?
802
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:04,924
Oh, it's not just movement, my darling.
I got you the meeting you wanted.
803
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,966
The League of the Just
mean anything to you?
804
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:13,849
Tell me.
805
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:32,765
Brussels, Winter 1845
806
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,409
You are banned
from all political activity here.
807
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:03,685
I signed that, yes.
808
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:11,131
Here you are.
809
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,164
Can you read this?
810
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,842
I have a family to feed.
I need this job.
811
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,363
Sorry. The postal service
requires a legible hand.
812
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,408
I'll take anything.
813
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,290
Anything.
814
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,209
How is she, Lenchen?
815
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,727
No, not yet, Herr Marx.
816
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,250
Don't push yet...
817
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,720
Stay calm. Now push... Push!
818
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,648
Why wait? You can go to her.
819
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:11,081
Jenny!
820
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:23,920
It's a girl.
821
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:26,281
Another?
822
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,569
Is that all you can say?
823
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:06,245
Hello, Laura.
824
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:11,969
Can we call her Laura?
825
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,125
If Lenchen agrees.
826
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:15,606
Of course.
827
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:18,206
Lenchen?
828
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,042
A good job she's here, Karl.
829
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,805
What would I have done without her?
830
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:30,003
Lenchen, this is Laura.
831
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,370
Do you like Laura?
832
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,407
It's a very pretty name, sir.
833
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,329
So Laura it is.
834
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:56,924
My dear Karl,
835
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,366
its especially horrible
being not only a bourgeois
836
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,089
but also a manufacturer.
837
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:08,171
A bourgeois actively intervening
against the proletariat.
838
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:13,643
A few days at my father's
have forced me to face this horror.
839
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:19,647
Pushing the communist cause,
while working in trade and industry...
840
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:22,330
it's not right.
841
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:26,048
I won't last much longer.
842
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:45,764
My dear Friedrich,
843
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,362
I sympathize with your dilemma.
844
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,089
And I miss having you here.
845
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,890
Here, material life is materially hard.
846
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:01,728
I became a father again.
847
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,166
Jenny has given me a beautiful Laura.
848
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:14,647
While I can't feed my family,
I have a new book in mind.
849
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:21,967
I believe it is important to assert
that materialism as we conceive it
850
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,803
differs from bourgeois materialism
851
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,891
by questing for a more humane society.
852
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,327
Two days! That's all I'm asking...
853
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,131
- It's always two days.
- You're tiring madam!
854
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,528
- It'll be the bailiffs then!
- Get out!
855
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:41,563
- Be gone!
- What is it?
856
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:44,850
We want our money.
857
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:46,405
They'll bleed us dry!
858
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:49,965
Excuse me.
859
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:58,001
Here.
860
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:00,245
Is that right?
861
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:03,241
Have a good day.
862
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:05,924
Off you go now.
863
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,004
By what miracle?
864
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:12,530
- Where were you?
- The post office.
865
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,963
- You've found work?
- A money order, from Friedrich.
866
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,130
- And fresh news?
- Live even!
867
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:30,171
Jenny.
868
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:31,961
Lenchen.
869
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,243
I have to tell you...
870
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,003
This isn't easy to say.
871
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:48,006
You know Friedrich met
the League of the Just in London.
872
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,327
- Yes. And?
- You know Weitling.
873
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:53,924
The visionary tailor.
874
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:57,090
Don't make fun, Jenny.
He's a leader.
875
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,203
He helped found the League
876
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,084
and make it stronger.
877
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,045
- I know that.
- They believe in something.
878
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,567
What they lack are sound ideas.
879
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:08,764
That you can provide?
880
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,727
And what does Friedrich say?
881
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:24,204
He asks me to join him in London.
882
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,607
To meet the League members.
883
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:31,246
I see.
884
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:35,362
And I look after the children
with Lenchen.
885
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:36,806
That's all right.
886
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,606
Herr Engels' money will tide us over.
887
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:44,526
No.
888
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,121
Friedrich can manage without me.
889
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:53,846
- I'll stay.
- Come on, sit down.
890
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:57,846
You're mad.
891
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,049
It's a unique opportunity.
892
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,004
And you'd miss it?
893
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,804
It seems to be a powerful movement,
894
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,447
with branches in Switzerland,
Germany, so...
895
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:14,330
If you can get elected
as the League's delegate,
896
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:16,565
you won't be alone.
897
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,930
Together, you can raise an army.
898
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:23,648
It can grow
and become invincible over time.
899
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:28,761
You have to go.
900
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,288
The League of the Just...
901
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:40,011
You big fool.
902
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,209
Lenchen? Are you coming?
903
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,365
Oh, Weitling the tailor!
904
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,201
London, February 1846
905
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:00,650
Over there. Come on!
906
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,922
There she is.
907
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:09,722
Quick! You're late.
908
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,130
My friend, Karl. My wife, Mary.
909
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,164
Your... wife?
910
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,405
You are such a great man to Frederic,
911
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:25,042
I imagined you'd be bigger.
912
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,811
I'm only a man.
But I didn't expect...
913
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,005
Oh, no, you can skip the compliments.
Come on, this way.
914
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:34,764
Let's go.
915
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,440
Wait, don't think it's in the bag yet.
916
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,321
They're a tough bunch of men.
They've been beaten up a lot.
917
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,046
- They trust no one.
- They read it?
918
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:01,086
That too. Be careful
with your "critical" thingamajigs.
919
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:03,683
They don't go for it.
920
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:07,162
Promising...
921
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,203
Here are the men.
922
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,286
Frederic, you've seen him before.
And this is Karl.
923
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,882
Karl Marx.
924
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:24,320
Sit down.
925
01:13:33,440 --> 01:13:36,683
For the League's purposes,
there are two kinds of men.
926
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,561
Men who've been hardened
and forged by manual labour,
927
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:45,330
and men who profit from the fruits
of that labour, the bourgeoisie.
928
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:50,361
By the look at you lads,
you're not in the first group.
929
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,691
- I described in my book...
- From the outside!
930
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,925
- Not from experience!
- Have you experienced poverty,
931
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,164
- prison, persecution?
- Excuse me, but if
932
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:06,846
you rule us out before we've said a word,
what's the point of your motto,
933
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:10,761
- "All men are brothers"?
- It's an ideal. Our ideal.
934
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,647
- It's what we're fighting for.
- It's our new Jerusalem
935
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:16,649
God, what are we doing here?
936
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:22,290
The League needs real men, not eggheads
trying to tell it what to do and think.
937
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:25,808
Yes, but you want to spread your ideas,
don't you?
938
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:30,131
So test us. And throw us out
if you think we are not useful.
939
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:34,361
Did someone say "useful"? Marx?
940
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,209
I knew
you'd been expelled from France too.
941
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:40,447
Here you are.
942
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,570
- I'm in Brussels for now.
- Brussels...
943
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,240
I'm giving talks there this autumn.
944
01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:49,808
A step on this long road
leading to our one goal:
945
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:52,769
the abolition of money.
946
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:54,689
Let me look at you.
947
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:56,325
You're thinner.
948
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,407
You've suffered. Me too.
949
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,202
I was shackled and beaten.
950
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,006
Look what they did to me.
951
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:11,609
But they couldn't break my soul.
952
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:15,123
Weitling! This isn't one of your rallies.
Sit down.
953
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:19,207
So. How can you be of use to us?
954
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,245
Weitling has followers in
France and Switzerland,
955
01:15:23,440 --> 01:15:26,205
you have branches in Germany and England.
956
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,927
With us, you will have
a bridgehead in Brussels...
957
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:34,001
- Weitling's going there.
- I'm talking about a permanent link.
958
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:38,002
About a web connection
all the way down to Paris, even Lyon.
959
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:41,206
- Why Lyon?
- Because of Proudhon.
960
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,521
Proudhon. You know Proudhon?
961
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:46,643
Yes, I know him personally.
962
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:48,406
We are very close.
963
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:53,246
We met each other regularly
until he was deported.
964
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:56,804
And we respect each other deeply.
965
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:01,731
We're almost like you say in England...
hand in glove.
966
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,649
Hand in glove?
967
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:10,283
- Hand in glove.
- Yes, hand in glove.
968
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,003
Come on!
969
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,209
Naming Proudhon was daring.
970
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:23,687
You turned your pawn into a queen.
971
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:29,167
- Sorry, sir, but the lady is not...
- I know women aren't allowed in here,
972
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:33,246
- but if my wife catches a cold outside...
- Sir.
973
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,080
I will kick up such a fuss
974
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:39,124
that you'll
never work anywhere, ever again.
975
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:42,369
Don't, Frederic.
I don't belong here.
976
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:46,889
Let's go somewhere else.
A pub will do for comparing notes. Come.
977
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,889
- Well, it's young Engels!
- Oh, Mr. Naylor.
978
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:56,930
How do you do?
979
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:01,688
I often ask my good friend Engels
how young Friedrich's doing these days.
980
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:04,850
- How is your father?
- As well as he can be.
981
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,281
Please let me introduce my wife Mary.
982
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,845
- How do you do?
- And my good friend Marx.
983
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,283
- Nice to meet you.
- Mr. Naylor owns foundries in Leeds.
984
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:19,925
He employs many workers, even children.
A harsh necessity.
985
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:24,410
Marx is a journalist. He's researching
a topic we're interested in...
986
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,367
About child labour in factories.
987
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,528
How many work in yours?
988
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,371
It's about twenty children to thirty men.
989
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:35,923
- Day or night work?
- Both.
990
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:38,282
Isn't that exhausting?
991
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:42,247
- Working at night has no effect on health.
- Your health.
992
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,290
- I beg your pardon?
- My wife means
993
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:51,049
it makes no difference to your health.
But to the children's...
994
01:17:51,440 --> 01:17:53,204
We have no choice.
995
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:55,802
You know without child labour
996
01:17:56,080 --> 01:18:00,802
- we'd price ourselves out of the market.
- Meaning you'd have to pay fair wages?
997
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:06,407
- The market sets the prices, young man.
- Of course.
998
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,120
If I stopped hiring children,
others would.
999
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,967
I'd go bankrupt.
That's what society does.
1000
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,922
No, sir. This is how existing
relations of production work.
1001
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,771
Not society. Society is not you.
1002
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:28,007
I don't know what you mean
by "relations of production".
1003
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,291
It all sounds Hebrew to me.
1004
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,008
Thank you, James.
1005
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:39,089
If labour costs more,
there'd be no more profits.
1006
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:44,123
Therefore no more economy,
therefore no more society.
1007
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,766
Perhaps that's what you want, eh?
1008
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:52,160
You're so right, we are not speaking
the same language.
1009
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:55,683
What you call profit,
I call exploitation.
1010
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:03,922
Mr. Engels, I've been very patient
in token of my friendship for your father
1011
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:08,524
And where would a society with no
exploitation leave people like you?
1012
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:12,167
You'd have to work too.
Wouldn't that be horrible?
1013
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,006
My regards to your father.
1014
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:32,329
My old man's going to kill me this time.
1015
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:41,325
Brussels, March 30th, 1846
1016
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,403
We're happy to welcome
eminent representatives
1017
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:47,006
of the workers' movement.
1018
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,727
You, Pavel Annenkov, welcome.
1019
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:52,810
You, Hermann Kriege.
1020
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,281
And, last but not least,
1021
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:59,367
our great and dear Weitling.
1022
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:01,284
Enough!
1023
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:06,684
You know why we're here.
1024
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:08,723
We're going to agree
1025
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,207
on a simple common doctrine
1026
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,571
for the workers
who have no time to study.
1027
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:17,127
That won't be an easy thing to do.
1028
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,723
- It engages us fraternally.
- How fraternal of you!
1029
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:25,847
- Gr�n, be constructive.
- Certainly. I wouldn't be here otherwise.
1030
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:28,771
Unless you're here for something else.
1031
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:30,644
- Pardon me?
- You never know.
1032
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:31,921
Karl!
1033
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,243
I like this idea of simplicity.
1034
01:20:34,440 --> 01:20:38,764
What unites us, my young companions,
is simple.
1035
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:43,364
- The people's happiness.
- Their happiness?
1036
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:47,806
That's all you can come up with
to justify your activities?
1037
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:49,371
Pardon me?
1038
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:54,403
Love, happiness,
the realm of Christ on Earth?
1039
01:20:55,440 --> 01:21:00,207
I ask you, Weitling, given the fuss
you cause with your preaching,
1040
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:04,564
what true theoretical basis
justifies your activities,
1041
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:07,127
and what will their future basis be?
1042
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:14,000
My goal...
1043
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:16,046
My intention...
1044
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:19,722
is not to create new theories,
economic or otherwise.
1045
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,842
I rise up
against the cult of novelty at any cost.
1046
01:21:25,440 --> 01:21:29,365
I said it again yesterday.
I had a whole hall on its feet.
1047
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:32,291
All power to the workers
1048
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,530
to establish universal harmony...
1049
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:40,123
Just 100000 armed proletarians,
1050
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:45,328
backed up by 40000 criminals,
could bring down bourgeois tyranny.
1051
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:49,007
I say that stirring up the workers
without offering them
1052
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:53,001
a constructive doctrine
is a dishonest, pretentious game
1053
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:57,604
with an inspired prophet on one side
and gaping idiots on the other!
1054
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:00,650
My audience...
1055
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:02,890
Idiots?
1056
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:04,684
- Scandalous!
- Outrageous!
1057
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:08,851
We have a Russian among us. Pavel...
1058
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:12,843
You might have a role
in his country, Weitling.
1059
01:22:13,440 --> 01:22:16,649
It's the only place
for vague alliances between
1060
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:18,968
vague prophets and disciples...
1061
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:21,291
But in our countries,
1062
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,887
in Germany, France or England,
1063
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:27,130
nothing can be done
without a positive theory.
1064
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:29,966
A man who leads hundreds to justice
1065
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,243
cannot be treated like this!
1066
01:22:32,440 --> 01:22:34,886
A hypocrite like
you should keep silent.
1067
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:37,250
What did you call me?
1068
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:43,849
I've received thousands of letters
proving to me that my modest work
1069
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:49,127
does more for the cause than talk
cut off from the people's suffering.
1070
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:52,524
Ignorance never helped anyone!
Never!
1071
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:54,565
Karl, take that back!
1072
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,286
- I want an apology.
- What's wrong with you?
1073
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:02,248
- I won't stand for this.
- Please, be reasonable. Please!
1074
01:23:16,440 --> 01:23:19,444
I'll be the first to be guillotined.
1075
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:22,968
Then the others, then your friends.
1076
01:23:24,440 --> 01:23:27,250
And, finally, you'll behead yourself.
1077
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:39,451
Criticism
1078
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,446
devours everything that exists.
1079
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,400
And when there is nothing left...
1080
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:49,124
it devours itself.
1081
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:53,249
Gentlemen, ladies...
1082
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:09,531
Thank you.
1083
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:33,850
What happened?
1084
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:35,610
What happened?
1085
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,724
Weren't you supposed to find
a common doctrine?
1086
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:42,041
With idiots like them?
Thank you.
1087
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:46,731
Look at me. Did you do it on purpose
or were you just in a bad mood?
1088
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,291
Either way, we're finished... Kaputt.
1089
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,561
Gr�n will report back to Proudhon.
1090
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:54,847
Always Proudhon!
1091
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,407
Can we stop bowing down to Proudhon?
1092
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,765
Gr�n would have slandered us.
That's why he came!
1093
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:03,641
Maybe,
but Proudhon was our joker.
1094
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:06,921
The trump card in our strategy.
1095
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,727
- Can't you see I advanced it?
- How so?
1096
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,001
Can somebody tell me
what the fucking hell just happened?
1097
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:40,681
I don't know what stops me
from crushing you like bugs.
1098
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,883
You insulted one of our movement's
most respected men,
1099
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:48,002
you pretentious brats.
1100
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,607
Weitling is devastated.
1101
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,691
No one ever spoke to him like that,
not even his worst enemy.
1102
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,804
Perhaps the picture he painted
was too black...
1103
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,526
What? Can you say that again?
1104
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,171
You dragged him through the mud.
1105
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:06,682
A man, a fighter, a leader...
1106
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:10,089
- May I...
- Despite his experience and maturity!
1107
01:26:10,440 --> 01:26:12,807
Two qualities you are sorely lacking!
1108
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,685
Your youth does not excuse everything.
1109
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:35,767
The League has reached a decision
concerning you.
1110
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,322
I'm here to inform you of it.
1111
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,807
It is a collective decision
1112
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:43,843
and you will comply with it.
1113
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:50,766
"After careful consideration..."
1114
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:57,050
I repeat, "After careful consideration,
the London committee asks you:
1115
01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:58,685
firstly,
1116
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:01,884
to formally join the League.
1117
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:06,321
Secondly...
1118
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,845
to work on its reorganization.
1119
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:11,361
And thirdly,
1120
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:15,286
to work on the drafting
of a new programme
1121
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:18,364
that will then be discussed
by all members.
1122
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:20,405
Have you understood?
1123
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:24,607
Obviously, as new members,
1124
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:28,131
you're invited to our autumn Congress.
1125
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:32,245
We hope to convince Joseph Proudhon
to attend it.
1126
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:35,610
We're counting on your help
as friends of his.
1127
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:38,925
Anything to add?
1128
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:41,281
Nothing.
1129
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:46,241
Nothing.
1130
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:53,366
Gentlemen.
1131
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:08,327
I can't return to Port-au-Prince
without the contract.
1132
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:09,607
Of course.
1133
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:11,325
Brussels, Bellevue Hotel, May 1846
1134
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:13,608
- Above all...
- I know what to say...
1135
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:22,691
Property will conquer the Republic
or the Republic will conquer property.
1136
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:36,801
Here he is!
1137
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,809
Get rid of that cigar.
1138
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:40,081
Proudhon!
1139
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:43,321
My dear doctor...
1140
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:46,721
- You remember my friend Engels.
- Of course.
1141
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:48,809
Sorry, I have to change.
1142
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:53,848
I didn't understand your letter.
What was it about?
1143
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:55,810
Yes, later, Gr�n.
1144
01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:00,921
It was about the League of the Just.
It's a powerful movement,
1145
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,328
with branches in the New World.
1146
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:05,289
What are you asking me?
1147
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:07,807
To be its correspondent in France.
1148
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:12,249
- The League's correspondent?
- Master, we must go.
1149
01:29:12,440 --> 01:29:15,728
Stop calling me "Master"!
Let me breathe a little.
1150
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,688
A charming boy,
but he sticks to me like glue.
1151
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:26,010
You know he claims that he taught you
all about German philosophy?
1152
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,522
Well, he has a wife
and two children to feed.
1153
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:34,041
He has to impress people somehow.
1154
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:37,290
What were you asking me?
1155
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:40,687
To be the League's correspondent.
1156
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,202
I'll be frank with you.
1157
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:48,521
I have too much work and I'm too lazy
to take on additional obligations.
1158
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:51,523
You're younger than I am.
1159
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,002
You don't have to answer now.
1160
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:59,047
- We'll gladly send you documents.
- No, my mind's made up. However...
1161
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:03,127
I'd like to pursue our discussions
by mail or otherwise.
1162
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:05,607
But, for God's sake, my dear Marx,
1163
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:10,120
let's not assassinate each other.
Let's avoid all insults.
1164
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:15,328
Do not be like Luther who,
after destroying Catholic dogma,
1165
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:18,245
founded an equally intolerant religion.
1166
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:22,969
Is that your last word?
1167
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:25,729
Certainly not, my friend.
1168
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:27,850
Certainly not.
1169
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,451
Do we not have all history before us?
1170
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:40,046
Just a second.
1171
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:51,289
My latest work.
1172
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:53,767
Thank you.
1173
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:57,520
I'm eager to hear what you think.
1174
01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:02,122
All my best to your family.
1175
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:11,801
The Philosophy of Poverty.
1176
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:21,130
This Congress...
1177
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:23,683
We must get it on our side.
1178
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:25,920
Yes.
1179
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:29,204
That's for sure.
1180
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:35,449
- But how?
- Let me handle it.
1181
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:42,365
And Proudhon?
1182
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:48,721
I presume I have to handle him.
1183
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:45,882
The Poverty of Philosophy.
1184
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:48,082
The Poverty of Philosophy.
1185
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:52,002
Have you read
Joseph Proudhon's Philosophy of Poverty?
1186
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:57,127
Here is Marx's answer,
The Poverty of Philosophy!
1187
01:32:58,240 --> 01:33:00,561
London, Red Lions Hotel, November 1847
1188
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:04,242
Congress of the League of the Just
1189
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:09,567
...and emissaries
from Uppsala and Stockholm are here.
1190
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:14,766
- Soon we should have news from...
- Hello.
1191
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:18,601
Karl, may I introduce a few comrades?
1192
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:21,644
Wilhelm, Hans, Walter.
1193
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:26,164
- Very nice. Hermann.
- No news from Weitling.
1194
01:33:26,440 --> 01:33:28,442
Hear that for Weitling?
1195
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:31,082
So, Gentlemen...
1196
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,570
- How are you?
- Fine. You have to talk to him.
1197
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:41,888
- Everything okay?
- Mr Engels?
1198
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:44,242
Yes, that's me.
1199
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,080
I'm Donald Murray.
It's nice to meet you.
1200
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:49,681
I'm sorry but you can't speak today.
1201
01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:53,089
You're not on the list
of official delegates.
1202
01:33:53,440 --> 01:33:56,569
What do you mean, official?
We're League members.
1203
01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:00,049
- We're de facto delegates.
- There can only be one delegate
1204
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:03,085
- and he must be accredited.
- Accredited?
1205
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:07,245
- But I am accredited.
- You're invited, not accredited.
1206
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:10,251
- You can watch, but you can't...
- No, no, no.
1207
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:13,091
We didn't come all this way
just to watch.
1208
01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:16,922
- I demand a vote.
- You will lose.
1209
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:21,649
- You have too many adversaries.
- I have to be delegate, and that's that.
1210
01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:32,806
For the Brussels delegation,
I've been requested...
1211
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:37,167
I call for a vote.
1212
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:39,403
- Why?
- Is that necessary?
1213
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:43,247
Who is against the accreditation
of citizen Friedrich Engels
1214
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:46,450
as the sole delegate
for the Brussels region?
1215
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:49,360
- We're in favour!
- We're not in favour!
1216
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:51,085
I'm against it!
1217
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:54,126
Who votes "no"? Raise your hands.
1218
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:01,682
And who's in favour?
1219
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:09,448
By a simple majority, Friedrich Engels
is accepted as Brussels representative.
1220
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:17,724
Go, Frederic, go!
1221
01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:24,603
Thank you.
1222
01:35:25,440 --> 01:35:28,887
On behalf of my friends in France,
1223
01:35:30,040 --> 01:35:33,249
Germany, Switzerland and Belgium,
1224
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:36,810
I have come here to set out the principles
1225
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:41,526
on which we plan to base
the coming struggles...
1226
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:47,451
Let's not delude ourselves, these
struggles will be extremely violent...
1227
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:51,288
Enough! Enough violence!
What we demand...
1228
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:55,962
What humanity demands
is kindness.
1229
01:35:56,400 --> 01:35:59,006
- Quiet!
- Fraternity!
1230
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:04,286
What our world lacks and needs more than
our bodies need fresh water is gentleness.
1231
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:09,767
- A kind of ardent fraternity...
- Let him speak!
1232
01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:12,287
Fraternity!
1233
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:16,446
There are probably some people here
who weep
1234
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:19,286
when they hear the words kindness,
1235
01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:23,124
gentleness and fraternity.
1236
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:29,284
But tears do not give power.
Power does not shed tears.
1237
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:35,241
The bourgeoisie shows you no gentleness
and you won't conquer it with kindness.
1238
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:39,407
Citizens, friends, comrades,
1239
01:36:40,440 --> 01:36:41,930
Why are we here?
1240
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,000
- Because we are fighting.
- Yes, of course!
1241
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:48,010
- Yes!
- What are we fighting for?
1242
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:51,125
- Freedom!
- Equality! - All men are brothers!
1243
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:55,530
- All men are brothers.
- No!
1244
01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:58,242
- All men are brothers.
- Yes!
1245
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:04,251
- You? And You?
- Yes, of course.
1246
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:07,246
What about you? Me?
All of them today?
1247
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:11,810
Are the bourgeois
and the workers brothers?
1248
01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:15,722
- No!
- No, they are not.
1249
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:20,601
They are enemies!
1250
01:37:21,440 --> 01:37:24,444
We need to know
what we have gathered here for.
1251
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:28,686
Is it for an abstract idea?
A sentimental day-dream?
1252
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:31,042
How far will that get us?
1253
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:35,326
We need to know what the League wants,
what it's fighting for, for what society.
1254
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:38,291
- And we have to decide that now.
- Why now?
1255
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,887
- Let him speak!
- We know who you represent.
1256
01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:44,687
Marx is here, skulking in the crowd
after firing his darts.
1257
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:47,924
- Long live Weitling!
- Long live Proudhon!
1258
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:51,361
No, I'm here. I'm not sulking.
1259
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:54,844
You call:
Long live Proudhon and Weitling.
1260
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:57,088
- What's the point?
- Shut him up!
1261
01:37:57,280 --> 01:38:00,409
- We heard you already.
- Proudhon won't leave France,
1262
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:04,122
And Weitling has given up!
You're cheering for shadows!
1263
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:06,887
All of you! All of you!
1264
01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:16,170
I have here the book Marx is referring to.
1265
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:20,765
His answer to Proudhon.
He asks the fundamental question,
1266
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:24,686
the question that sums up our struggle.
Karl!
1267
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,041
Go on, you have the floor.
1268
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:36,124
"The antagonism between the proletariat
and the bourgeoisie...
1269
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:40,042
can only lead to a complete revolution..."
1270
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:44,968
- Shut him up!
- "...and as long as classes exist,
1271
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:50,128
the last word of social science will
always be, as George Sand said,
1272
01:38:51,680 --> 01:38:54,126
the struggle or death.
1273
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,731
The bloody fight...
1274
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:00,123
Or nothingness."
1275
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:01,890
Long live George Sand!
1276
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:04,323
Long live Marx!
1277
01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:09,841
Let those who refuse to fight
stand up and say so!
1278
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:14,851
The industrial revolution of today has
created the modern slave.
1279
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:17,681
This slave is the proletariat.
1280
01:39:18,280 --> 01:39:22,001
By freeing itself,
it will free the whole of mankind.
1281
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:25,286
And that freedom has a name:
1282
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:30,686
Communism.
1283
01:39:33,440 --> 01:39:37,764
That is why I propose
to abolish that motto
1284
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:40,847
because it's misleading and weak!
1285
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:43,004
This is a coup!
1286
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:45,926
Here is our motto!
1287
01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:48,521
Workers of all countries unite!
1288
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:54,806
I request that the League of the Just
shall henceforth be called
1289
01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:58,806
the Communist League!
Hands up those in favour!
1290
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:10,209
And hands up those against.
1291
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:14,610
We are now called...
1292
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:18,646
the Communist League!
1293
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:25,330
Unbelievable!
1294
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:29,202
The Communist League
1295
01:40:59,960 --> 01:41:04,409
Ostend, January 1848
1296
01:41:26,440 --> 01:41:28,169
Come on!
1297
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,245
You got two beautiful children, Jenny.
1298
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:42,525
- Will you have any?
- Fred? A dad?
1299
01:41:45,440 --> 01:41:47,442
No, his feet are too itchy.
1300
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:52,003
And having kids when you're poor,
is too much misery.
1301
01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:54,802
- But Fred...
- I know.
1302
01:41:55,840 --> 01:41:57,569
His money.
1303
01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:00,042
His filthy money.
1304
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:03,724
No, I want to be free.
1305
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:08,245
I am free. I want to fight.
1306
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:11,451
And to fight, I have to stay poor.
1307
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:14,766
That's the way I see it.
1308
01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:18,202
He understands me.
1309
01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:35,331
So no children with him ever?
1310
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:43,606
Maybe with Lizzy, later on.
1311
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:46,888
Who is Lizzy?
1312
01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:49,321
My sister. She's 16.
1313
01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:53,287
She could give him some.
Bless her heart, she's begging for it.
1314
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:04,331
Did I say something wrong?
1315
01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:17,926
No time?
1316
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:21,169
You were due to deliver the programme
last week!
1317
01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:24,125
I owe the New York Tribune
three articles.
1318
01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,641
- I need money!
- The time is now!
1319
01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:30,049
I have a family to feed,
a problem you don't know!
1320
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:35,450
You're unfair.
1321
01:43:37,440 --> 01:43:39,442
Forgive me. What I mean is...
1322
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:42,729
I cannot depend on others
all my life.
1323
01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:44,604
Not even on you.
1324
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:48,285
And I can't work from your notes.
1325
01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:50,761
A communist catechism?
What is that?
1326
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,804
- It's what they asked for.
- Why? It's absurd.
1327
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:56,571
It's to help the workers remember it.
1328
01:43:57,320 --> 01:43:59,527
It's useless.
It's totally boring!
1329
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:01,722
- I didn't say that.
- You did.
1330
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:04,211
Blame it on me.
1331
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:08,130
Just tell the committee
it's all my fault.
1332
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:11,130
- Is that how I work?
- I don't know.
1333
01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:13,846
But they're losing faith in London.
1334
01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:17,768
We have one final delivery date:
1335
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:20,366
February 1st.
1336
01:44:22,600 --> 01:44:24,523
That's in five weeks.
1337
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:27,320
And otherwise?
1338
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:31,170
You must return
all documents provided and...
1339
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,400
measures will be taken against you.
1340
01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:43,289
They can take them.
1341
01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:51,005
I'm tired.
1342
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:53,081
Tired?
1343
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:55,161
You?
1344
01:44:57,680 --> 01:44:59,284
People are in an uproar.
1345
01:44:59,880 --> 01:45:02,008
The price of bread is rising.
1346
01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:05,284
The Irish famine has left
half a million dead.
1347
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:07,363
Unemployment is rising.
1348
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:10,649
Metternich in Austria
and Guizot in France will soon fall!
1349
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:12,524
Poland is ready!
1350
01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:14,802
We're winning!
1351
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,162
Rise up too! Wake up!
1352
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:20,769
I've never stopped.
1353
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:24,082
Not for one second.
1354
01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:26,931
I'm nearly thirty.
1355
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:30,044
I have no more money,
no more energy.
1356
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:32,250
I want to write books.
1357
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:36,922
It's a time-consuming task.
1358
01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:42,330
I'm sick of flyers,
manifestos, pamphlets...
1359
01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:43,686
All right.
1360
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:48,043
You know as I do that...
1361
01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:50,245
all this work,
1362
01:45:50,440 --> 01:45:52,283
books, articles, talks,
1363
01:45:52,520 --> 01:45:56,206
will have been to no avail
if we don't write a simple book
1364
01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:58,841
that comprehensively sums it up.
1365
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:02,049
The Poverty of Philosophy.
1366
01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:05,608
That was good, but we need
a communist manifesto!
1367
01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:09,562
Proudhon will never rally.
1368
01:46:09,760 --> 01:46:11,728
Weitling is finished..
1369
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:14,686
You want to stop?
1370
01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:17,166
Really?
1371
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:23,049
You'll rest afterwards.
1372
01:46:23,240 --> 01:46:25,402
I'll do the same. We'll rest.
1373
01:46:27,440 --> 01:46:29,408
We'll be good bourgeois men.
1374
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:33,122
Me in Barmen with my mother,
you in Trier with ten kids.
1375
01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:35,560
Does that suit you?
1376
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,730
I thought you were serious for a second.
1377
01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:56,969
Karl, what's this word?
1378
01:46:58,080 --> 01:46:59,764
"Bogeyman".
1379
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:01,725
"Bogeyman".
1380
01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:03,725
No, hold on.
1381
01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:10,449
"A spectre...
1382
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:13,364
haunts Europe."
1383
01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:20,764
"A spectre haunts Europe,
1384
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:22,962
the spectre of Communism.
1385
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:26,801
All the powers of old Europe..."
1386
01:47:28,360 --> 01:47:34,083
"All the powers of old Europe..."
1387
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:39,084
Jenny, read it for him.
1388
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:46,644
"A spectre is haunting Europe,
the spectre of Communism.
1389
01:47:47,440 --> 01:47:51,809
All the powers of old Europe
have entered into a holy alliance
1390
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:54,002
to exorcize this spectre:
1391
01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:55,645
Pope and Tsar,
1392
01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:57,524
Metternich and Guizot,
1393
01:47:57,720 --> 01:48:01,361
French Radicals
and German police-spies..."
1394
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:08,009
It doesn't make sense.
1395
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:10,681
- What doesn't?
- This part.
1396
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:14,329
There's a paragraph missing.
1397
01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:17,450
Friedrich,
where's the central paragraph?
1398
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:19,125
Where is it? Quick!
1399
01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:20,970
Don't pressure me.
1400
01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:23,601
Here.
1401
01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:29,087
"It is high time for communists
to publish
1402
01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:31,601
their views, aims and tendencies
1403
01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:36,205
and counter this tale
of the spectre of Communism
1404
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:38,448
with a party manifesto."
1405
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:40,284
Let me see.
1406
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:46,400
So...
1407
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:48,284
I would write:
1408
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:53,885
"...to expose to the world at large
1409
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:57,687
their views, goals and tendencies."
1410
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:09,285
The history of hitherto existing societies
is the history of class struggles.
1411
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:14,202
Society is splitting
into two great hostile camps,
1412
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:19,203
into two great classes
that confront each other,
1413
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:24,043
Bourgeoisie and Proletariat.
1414
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:32,922
The bourgeoisie has resolved
personal worth into an exchange value,
1415
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:38,571
and, in place of indefeasible
chartered freedoms,
1416
01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:43,568
has set up that single, unconscionable
freedom - Free Trade and profit.
1417
01:49:44,720 --> 01:49:49,681
It has torn away from the family
its sentimental veil,
1418
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:53,362
and has reduced the family relation
to a mere money relation.
1419
01:49:55,200 --> 01:49:59,000
It has drowned the heavenly ecstasies
of religious fervour,
1420
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:04,848
of philistine sentimentalism,
in the icy water of selfish calculation.
1421
01:50:11,040 --> 01:50:14,726
Commercial crises,
by their periodical return,
1422
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:17,924
put the existence
of bourgeois society in peril.
1423
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:22,647
The need of a constantly expanding market
for its products
1424
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:25,850
chases it over the entire
surface of the globe
1425
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:30,129
A universal commercial bourgeois society
is born,
1426
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:34,291
with universal interdependence of nations.
1427
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:42,684
Modern bourgeois society
is like a sorcerer
1428
01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:46,601
who can no longer control
the demons summoned by his spells.
1429
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:49,041
Manifesto of the Communist Party
1430
01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:52,961
The weapons with which the bourgeoisie
felled feudalism
1431
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:56,209
are now turned
against the bourgeoisie itself.
1432
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:09,366
The 1848 revolution broke out
one month later.
1433
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:14,967
Class confrontation in Western Europe
overthrew the old regimes.
1434
01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:18,926
The international workers' movements
arose from these ruins.
1435
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:25,411
The Communist Manifesto has being
translated and reprinted to this day.
1436
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:30,167
Exiled in England,
Supported by Jenny and Friedrich,
1437
01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:34,251
Marx would keep writing
his key work Capital until his death.
1438
01:51:35,640 --> 01:51:37,449
An open, immeasurable work,
1439
01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:42,004
unfinished because the very object
of its critique is in perpetual motion.
1440
01:57:06,760 --> 01:57:09,923
