Karl Marx, The Belgian MassacreThis text, reproduced here in part, was written by Karl Marx (see note 1) after the decision taken by the GC on 20 April 1869 to disseminate as much as possible news about the extreme violence of unprovoked attacks by both cavalry and infantry on unarmed metalworkers striking in Belgium. It was partially published in The Bee-Hive on 8 May and printed as a booklet 4 days later. The full version is in the GC, III: 312–18.
