Capstone The Communist Manifesto: The Political Classic

I can now restart the Soviet Union

Came in great condition but has a completely different cover than what is shown

Very low quality cover and pages

A great read to be introduced in the theory of communism, always relevant and a must read to understand the basics of a system that is the opposite of capitalism

It is worth reading the book to get an understanding of what the de-facto founders of communism thought. Luckily, the book is short and a quick read. It feels to be composed of two parts: their understanding of the evolution from feudalism to capitalism and the overall environment at the time, plus their understanding of what communism should be. Based on the book, it seems that the countries that claimed to be communist were mostly communist, as the main principle seemed to be to abolish private property. It is also clear that Marx and Engels did not understand human psychology. They also did not have the foresight to realize that in communism, the ruling class ownership (the single party) would replace private property or that there would even be a ruling class and that a much worse type of oppression would replace the injustices of the time. Based on their definition of communism, it is also clear that China is no longer a communist country but a one-party rule country - an oligarchy.

Nice

Clear cut and concise edition just as described in the description, Awesome cover really gives you that soviet communist aesthetic if thats what you’re going for, Just to note the book isn’t as thick and big as in the picture its quite thin and small thickness wise.

The book was delivered quickly and without issues. I highly recommend reading both the manifesto and principles of communism if you’re just beginning to read theory. Also you should probably read the prefaces, otherwise the book is pretty short.
