Some good ideas, and still a lot of important messages, but it hasn't aged all that well. Worth reading but in need of an update to bring it back into the 21st century Some good ideas, and still a lot of important messages, but it hasn't aged all that well. Worth reading but in need of an update to bring it back into the 21st century Review written: sometime before April 24, 2015 The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels Why I read it: It was free on Kindle and I was curious. Rating: 2/5 What I thought: I don't really want to say much, but at the very least I consciously realised thanks to this that I am not a communist. So that's something at least. A modo de micro-reseña, pego de una conversación que tuve con algunos familiares poco después de haber leído el libro: Habría que leer [las] otras obras [de Marx], pero el resumen del Manifiesto es: «La burguesía nos ha traído progreso, tecnología y orden, la verdad es que sin ellos estaríamos en las cavernas matándonos unos a otros (“¿¡qué han hecho por nosotros los Romanos!?”); pero el lumpen está esclavizado y lo estará cada vez más; así que vamos a nivelar a todos por abajo con una revolución violenta en la que no haremos prisioneros ni respetaremos ni siquiera la propiedad modesta y legítima; y de las cenizas y de los cadáveres surgirá… surgirá… bueno, no sabemos muy bien qué surgirá, pero será mucho mejor.» Kuuluu näihin sarjoihinKuuluu näihin kustantajien sarjoihinSisältyy tähän:The Great Books of the Western World, Vol. 50: Capital; and, The Communist Manifesto (tekijä: Karl Marx) Britannica Great Books [54-volume set] (tekijä: Robert Maynard Hutchins) (epäsuora) Great Books of the Western World [64-volume set] (tekijä: Robert Maynard Hutchins) (epäsuora) Great Books Of The Western World - 54 Volume Set, Incl. 10 Vols of Great Ideas Program & 3 Great Ideas Today (1966, 1967 (tekijä: Robert Maynard Hutchins) (epäsuora) Great Books Of The Western World - 54 Volume Set, Incl. 10 Vols of Great Ideas Program & 10 Volumes Gateway To Great Books (tekijä: Robert Maynard Hutchins) (epäsuora) GREAT BOOKS OF THE WESTERN WORLD--54 Volumes 27 volumes 1961-1987 GREAT IDEAS TODAY (Yearbooks) 10 volumes GATEWAY TO THE GREAT BOOKS 10 volumes GREAT IDEAS PROGRAM.

Critically and textually up-to-date, this new edition of the classic translation (Samuel Moore, 1888) features an introduction and notes by the eminent Marx scholar David McLellan, prefaces written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels subsequent to the original 1848 publication, and corrections of errors made in earlier versions. Regarded as one of the most influential political tracts ever written, The Communist Manifesto serves as the foundation document of the Marxist movement. This summary of the Marxist vision is an incisive account of the world-view Marx and Engels had evolved during their hectic intellectual and political collaboration of the previous few years.

I stopped reading the first sentence, so I'm giving this a chance this year. Economics is my least favorite subject, so I can't tell if it's a good read.
(just hiding this review not for spoilers but for my note)
Last year, I met someone from a communist country. He is very passionate about discussing politics with me. The problem is, I am not fond of it. I work in a government establishment, but I still avoid talking about politicians and such. My friend is interesting and he is fun to be around, so I decided to try reading The Communist Manifesto.
From what I know, communism is deemed a problematic ideology in my country as of today. We have a rebel group, an armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines a.k.a. CPP, called New People's Army (NPA) that want to overthrow the government. The members in the "battelfield" tend to extort money from businessmen and some government workers/officials. (I witnessed it myself.) If the latter don't give in the NPA's demands, their vehicles and buildings will be destroyed (mainly by fire/arson). Even indigenous people in tribal areas were victimized. Some ex-members testified against the group, saying "Is this really what communism is all about?"
