Bro Karl Marx delivered an absolute banger man... the opening line and ending line alone are so so real
Seriously tho, a good introductionary work into Communism which explains everything pretty well.

Skip Randall's dismissive and pointless introduction, and get straight into the work that changed the world. By reading this, you have nothing to lose but your chains.

Like the Grimms, another fine spinner of fairy tales. It's a bitch session against the bourgeoisie and an attempt to define a social structure which is a fantasy even, no ironically, in countries which have brainwashed their masses by using that cloak or label. Communism has never existed on this planet anywhere due to the reality of human nature. Those countries claiming to be communistic end up, in reality, being cloistered, secretive oligarchies reaping benefits for a chosen few.
Marx & Engels never venture into having a plan for how they would effectuate and administer their Shangri-la after the revolution, so millions of fools took a chance and now find themselves in even more repressive societies.

It is interesting to reflect on these ideas in the face of the rapid and potentially radical advancement of AI and similar technologies – whether it progresses the development of the proletariat, bringing more and more people into common cause; or whether the changes will undermine what unity currently exists among workers, allowing capitalism to keep people divided, prospering from a new wave of individual-mindedness.

Still an arresting read, even if it belongs so thoroughly to its place and time. It's stronger as a critique than a hope, but it does make one want to be more vocal about inequity. This edition has one of the most condescending introductions I've ever read.
