A review by orcamagicka
The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx
I don’t think I can give this a traditional star rating so I’ll just type my thoughts.
Definitely interesting and an important piece of historical literature. I surprisingly found myself agreeing with certain sections. Ironically, for this being a book aimed for the working class, I feel like the language becomes too academic and complex to understand at various points. I had to use supplemental material to better my understanding of the material. Given the modern Red Scare occurring in the US and the fact most members of the far right accuse *any* progressive measure as being “communist” without even understanding what communism actually is, I recommend this especially to any American.
