May Day Parade in Prague, Czechoslovakia, 1956.

"Workers of the world, unite!" is the most popular rendering of a leftist slogan which originates in the last sentence of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels's 1848 Communist Manifesto, "Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch!" which literally means, "Proletarians of all countries, unite!" In the 19th century the phrase was rendered in English (both by Marx/Engels and others) as "Working men of all countries, unite!"
