Where is the card-trader in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
Two things result from this fact:
I. Communism is already acknowledged by all card-trading powers to be itself a power, and,
II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole forums, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.
To this end, Communists of various nationalities have assembled in the Selling Cards for Cheap forum and sketched the following manifesto, to be published in the English, French, German, Italian, Flemish and API languages.
The history of all hitherto existing card-trading is the history of class struggles.
Card farmer and receiver of cards, provider and buyer, scammers and scammed, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of the card-trading culture at large, or in the common ruin of the contending bidders.
In the earlier epochs of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various orders, a manifold gradation of social rank. In Ancient Nationstates we have the farmers, the serfs, the card farm masters, in the Later Era, card farming armies, the forgotten accounts, the legendary cards, scripters; in almost all of these classes, again, subordinate gradations.
The modern bank accumulating society that has sprouted from the ruins of Later Era card-trading game society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones.
