A review by kingofspain93
The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels
5.0
an approachable and direct tract that covers, without haughtiness or self-contradiction, three key points:
1. revolution remains necessary across contexts
2. reformers are allies of the bourgeoisie and the enemy of the revolutionary
3. it's not about "trying out" Communism to see if it works better than Capitalism as an economic model (heard this specific lie from a lot of Americans)
for example, any Communist revolution in the US that does not have as its goal total uncompromising decolonization is a reform movement, and therefore a failure. I'm onboard.
