The Communist Manifesto is written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It discusses the problems with the class system and capitalism, while supporting the theory of communism.It explains the struggle under capitalism between the ruling class(bourgeoisie) and the working class (proletariat).It also contrasts the relationship between the working class and the communists.It further distinguishes the differences between socialism and communism. I personally liked the book but felt that it was very lengthly.It was very hard to maintain a focus while reading the book because the font was so small and the text was very similar to a textbook. I beieve that the ideas of communism revealed in this book are very interesting, but will never be successfully used in society.

Has Marx's system of communism ever been successful in real history or only in theory?

ReplyDeleteJohn: Why did you think that communism was interesting?? Do you think it could be a viable system?

ReplyDeleteI would think that the book would be very interesting. I think Karl Marx has a great insight into the theory of communism. Too bad the book is like a textbook because I wanted to read this book.
