About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

This Penguin Classic is performed by Arinzé Kene, writer and performer of Olivier Award nominated Misty, and also known for his roles in Youngers, Informer and Eastenders. This definitive recording includes an Introduction by Gareth Stedman Jones.

The Communist Manifesto (1848), Marx and Engels's revolutionary summons to the working classes, is one of the most important and influential political theories ever formulated. After four years of collaboration the authors produced this incisive account of their idea of Communism, in which they envisage a society without classes, private property or a state. They argue that increasing exploitation of industrial workers will eventually lead to a revolution in which Capitalism is overthrown. This vision provided the theoretical basis of political systems in Russia, China, Cuba and Eastern Europe, affecting the lives of millions. The Communist Manifesto still remains a landmark text: a work that continues to influence and provoke debate on capitalism and class.

It's not the manifesto at all, but just commentary on it. Hopefully I can get my credit back and this item's details will be corrected.

This isn't the Communist Manifesto but a critique of it. if you are looking to learn about what Marx advocated for you will be disappointed! instead of just narrating Marx's work it takes pieces of the writing and states how twisted or evil they were, blah blah. I want to actual Manifesto not your bias opinion!

Disappointing!
