Is it true that Karl Marx was a communist who co-authored the Communist Manifesto with Friedrich Engels in 1848?
Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that the Communist Manifesto was written by Karl Marx with Friedrich Engels and published in 1848, and several describe it as a communist/socialist pamphlet. The claim's three elements—Marx's communism, co-authorship with Engels, and the 1848 date—are each directly attested.
