Liked It3 of 3 members found this review helpful “After reading this book it isn't hard to see why the spread of communism was so intensive during the 1800's. The book shows how industrialism came to be, and the working class responding to how badly they were treated at the spawn of what we now see as normal life. It also shows how ideologies...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“"The Communist Manifesto changed the face of the twentieth century beyond recognition, inspiring millions to revolution, forming the basis of political systems that still dominate countless lives and continuing to ignite violent debate about class and capitalism today." For that reason, I think everyone should read this book and grasp a greater understanding of the world around them. At the risk of 'igniting violent debate' I'll let it be known that I disagree with the concept. I am especially opposed to the idea of the abolotion of a right to inheritance, as I would love to pass my library down to the future generations of my family. Perhaps some things should be a little more equal, but I like the individuality we have in being able to select what we purchase and accummulate. I enjoy the right to educate our own children, having the priveledge to opt out of public education in order to give our children more - more knowledge, more quality time, more love.”

Powerful and written with a real passion and fire for revolution. Marx's ideas for reform aren't well-developed or justified in this thin pamphlet, but his social criticism is biting.”

“I've read it for a political science class. The work is good, but also shows that what is good in theory doesn't mean it could survive in real conditions”

“An interesting read on the dynamics of socialism and communism. Two words that have been confused in the minds of the people since this book has been published. This is a work of an optimist, who working off the belief that people are inherently good and willing to share the wealth. Sadly, the modern model proves that this utopian society is currently unreachable.”
