Summary
Without question one of the most significant books in modern history, The Communist Manifesto is a brief, populist pamphlet that distils the core ideas of communism into accessible prose. Published just months before violent uprisings threatened to destabilize much of the European establishment, it outlines a view of history as a constant battle between the classes that will inevitably result in revolution. An angry call for a stateless world where the workers are no longer exploited, its depiction of the remorseless nature modern capitalism is as alarming and striking now as it was in 1848.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Intelligent, emotional but historicist.
An excellent outline of Communist ideals laid down by the o.g. But Popper poked holes in his ideas and overt reliance on historicism. Yet Marx may be right in the end once automation exacerbates the class divide.

One to be shared
A great peice of history and philosophy well read and at a perfect pace. This really makes you think and also educates throughout. I highly recommend this to anyone with a love of history or an interest in a less self-centred oppositional view to capitalism.

Required reading (listening)
If anyone wants to understand the horrors unleashed by communism in the last century, they could do worse than starting with the Communist Manifesto. Destruction of the family, destruction of national identity, destruction of religion, introduction of income tax, central banks controlled by the state. It’s all here, and it’s always ended in starvation and the death of hundreds of millions.

Non Optional Reading
This book illuminates the mechanisms behind the genocidal Communist countries of the 20th Century. It's primary focus is towards hate of 'the other' and the destruction of Western democratic society and tradition.
It also helps us understand how this ideology has splintered into modern ideas such as Feminism, Political Correctness, Gender Ambiguity etc, or perhaps these ideas could even be part of a 5th column working today to undermine the stability of Western democratic societies.
The diametrically opposed 'Mein Kampf' should be your next stop to understand further how 'good intentions' can be turned into murderous actions.
