ABSTRACT
Joseph Moll was entrusted with the task of getting into touch with Karl Marx and inviting him to join the Congress League. He was authorised to give Marx 'an oral report on the state of affairs (in the League of the Just) and receive information from him in return'. Marx and Engels were to be invited to collaborate in the work of reorganisation and theoretical re-orientation. The Congress decided on a complete reorganisation of the League. In place of the old name, a new name, the 'Communist League', made its appearance. After the conversion of the Brussels correspondence committee into a branch of the Communist League Marx and his friends formed the Brussels German Workers' Educational Union. In September 1847, the Association Democratique, ayant pour but l'union et la fraternite de tous les peuples, was founded in Brussels.
