The German Ideology is the first masterpiece of Marx and Engels to systematically explain historical materialism (here in after referred to as the form). In this work, Marx and Engels mentioned “communication” many times and made a profound analysis of “commu_x005fnication”, expounding the significance and role of communication in the development of human society. Today, “the form” still has important practical value. Marx and Engels’ communication ideas have important theoretical value and practical significance for global communication in the 21st century and in the context of the new era to promote the development of China and the progress of human society.
