Abstract: Although Marx and Engels did not specifically discuss the topic of patriotism in The Communist Manifesto, they summarized the general outline of patriotism in the text. The connotation of the concept of patriotism in The Communist Manifesto is polysemous and rich, which should be interpreted in multiple dimensions according to the differences of time and space. This is manifested in the following aspects: in the value dimension, it stands on the position of the proletariat and declares that “the workers have no fatherland”; in the time dimension, it criticizes the patriotic ideology of the realistic capitalist countries and affirms the need to maintain the state power of the proletariat in the transitional period; in the space dimension, it opposes national oppression and supports the liberation movement of the oppressed nations; in the transcendental dimension, it calls on proletarians to transcend the boundaries of the nation-state emphasized by patriotism and to realize a broad worldwide union. Now in the new era, China still needs to strengthen patriotic education, reinforce a strong sense of national community, establish a consolidated patriotic united front, and integrate the Marxist view of patriotism with the specific stage of social development in contemporary China.

Key words: Marx and Engels, The Communist Manifesto, patriotism, nation-state
