Pas tres actuel mais pourrait le redevenir

3 stars

Ca fait longtemps que je l'ai lu, et à l'époque je m'étais dit qu'il fallais le remettre a jour car peu représentatif du monde actuel avec cette classe moyenne apathique. Mais les IA vont voler les jobs de cette classe moyenne donc c'est bon dans 20 ans ça sera de nouveau d'actualité

Simple explanation of Marxism

4 stars

The manifesto is not a highly complex and detailed view of Marxism and its' concepts. It served as an easy read for people to get a simplified understanding of the oppression structures during the industrial revolution and lists a set of goals which should be achieved to establish a communist society.

This should be seen as an easy introduction to the Marxist philosophy and a potential starting point for further research into this topic.

An interesting historical read

4 stars

The manifesto is mostly just interesting as a historical piece for me, especially in terms of leftist history. Ideologically it's still pretty interesting to read, however some parts of it have naturally become a bit outdated which has even been acknowledged by Marx and Engels some 25 years later.

The edition of the manifesto I read even includes multiple prefaces by Engels throughout the years which further gave an amazing insight into history and what they felt and thought at the time. Additionally the book also included Engel's The Principles of Communism which practically functioned as an FAQ to fully illustrate what exactly Communism is and it stands for.

Review of 'THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO [ANNOTATED]' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

Eh, regardless of how you feel about the actual solutions proposed, it's undeniable that Marx is one of the most influential figures of modern history. It's worth a read for no other reason than that. I'm also of the opinion that the vast majority of critiques he makes of the capitalist structure is well founded, just not sure his answer was right.

Review of 'The Communist Manifesto' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A manifesto of fiery confidence, brutally accurate analysis and unrealistically idealist hopes.

This book is an example of giving the most unbelievably accurate and perfect diagnosis but not having as much success with the cure. I can see why it caused such a fuss, I want to take on some of these bourgeoisie dogs like myself after reading this.

Review of 'Manifiesto comunista' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Si se pretende entender el comunismo con el Manifiesto Comunista se corre el riesgo de salir como poco aturdidamente confundida(o). El Manifiesto es una llamada a la unión con un mensaje propagandístico que no instructivo.
Me he leído el manifiesto con ilusión, no con una ilusión por un apego ideológico si no porque delante de mí tenía un trocito de historia que ha sido un gusto poder saborearlo (además en poquitas páginas).

A must-read por supuesto.
