I don't know what you're asking but the word "communism" - although used in some small French circles in the late 1780s didn't get used in English until 1840.

I see 1823 as in the past when it's currently 2023, didn't know about that wasn't a English word then .

understood, but in the same way that 2023 is different to 1979 and 1951 - so too 1823 was different to 1867 (first volume of Das Kapital published) and 1894 (last volume of Das Kapital published)
