(I assume you are asking about the song the Internationale ... It has been used at various times by a wide range of socialist groups and only later came to be closely associated with the Communists. ... Or did you mean the Communist Manifesto?). The words were written by Eugène Pottier (1816-1887) and the music was composed in 1888 by Paul Degeyter (1848-1932). (Degeyter is sometimes also spelled De Geyter). Eugène Pottier was active in the 1848 revolution and in the Paris Commune of 1871. Paul Degeyter was a worker in Lille. He was invited to Moscow for his 80th birthday (1928) and given a hero's welcome.
