The Communist Manifesto

Everyone should read this book.

Love his ideas but personally it needs some modern revision but he's on the right track and the bourgeoisie is the problem

It is widely known that communism is good on paper. Well now you can own it on paper, for a great price too. This is definitely a purchase that will bring attention to you in all the wrong reasons. Whether it’s strange looks while reading it in public or getting yourself on a federal list of potential spies. This is also a great joke for friends because who wouldn’t be surprised if they got a copy of the communist manifesto? Even if you are getting it to genuinely read it, it is a great price and good quality. I suggest this product.

So I was always under the impression that this book was promoting communism but I actually learned the different socialist ways and some stuff about communism but mostly that the bourgeois or ruling class would be mad about this book and suppress it because the writers talk about workers unionizing and fighting against them to demand fair treatment and compensation for the work they do

interesting read. actual form of the book is kind of annoying but still a nice read itself

The Communist Manifesto needs no introduction. Ironically, when Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels first authored it, they believed the text would disappear into extinction due to the dissolution of The Communist League and the Cologne Communist Trials. The text experienced a rebirth and popularity years in the future. In truth, The Communist Manifesto gives a very helpful clarification on the stages of evolution in the modes of production and appropriation across time from feudalism to capitalism, i.e., historical materialism, and points out the organic birth of the proletariat from the property relations of capitalism, a.k.a. the gravediggers of the bourgeoisie. Furthermore, the treatment enumerates the forms of socialism, e.g., reactionary, petty-bourgeois, true-idealist, utopian, etc. If you study The Communist Manifesto, recall that Karl and Friedrich authored this relatively early in their lives, less than 30 years old. It increases the excitement of the text to imagine the hysteria and anger of the secret police hunting through the streets trying to arrest communists as they convened in secrecy. I would urge anyone, whether communist or capitalist, to study The Communist Manifesto, even if only to see into the brain of a communist. You might relate to it more than you suspect.

Don’t buy this book! Ever since I bought it a “plumbing” van has been parked outside my house for 18 hours a day. Every phone call I make has a strange clicking sound in the background. Big brother is now watching my every move! The dream police are surveying me 24/7. The truth is not worth the hell that is my life!

This review isn't going into the ideas that the book has to offer, as that is a subjective thing that I do not believe should be measured in a "5 star" review system. This review is based upon the adaptation and quality of the physical copy of tThe Communist Manifesto. Overall this adaptation is faithful in case you need a primary source on this topic. Comparing to other copies of the Manifesto this one is a pamphlet, being only 48 pages total. The physical quality of this version can be a little questionable in my opinion, as it's so thin that I have to be careful to not let something accidentally crush it in my backpack when I head to class. It's also just held together by two staples so keep that in mind when handling this. The quality of the print is acceptable however some italicized words may be a little bit smudged looking. The font size seems acceptable in my opinion, a little on the smaller side for some people I've met when discussing the book in class however. Overall, if you need a copy of the Manifesto for a class or for personal reasons this will do fine, but just keep in mind that you should be a bit careful to not bend or crush it accidentally.
