About this listen

Without question one of the most significant books in modern history, The Communist Manifesto is a brief, populist pamphlet that distils the core ideas of communism into accessible prose. Published just months before violent uprisings threatened to destabilize much of the European establishment, it outlines a view of history as a constant battle between the classes that will inevitably result in revolution. An angry call for a stateless world where the workers are no longer exploited, its depiction of the remorseless nature modern capitalism is as alarming and striking now as it was in 1848.

I gave this 5 stars so that more people might become aware of the original intentions of communism. Based on flawed theory, exaggerated philosophy, & outright fallacies, no wonder this warped ideology has repeatedly failed throughout history. Education is key to forming future societies in positive polarity.

The only reason I gave this audiobook 5 stars is to entice people into buying it to realise that this manifesto governs the very way we live and how conceive our reality. The ownership of private property today is rare today, property is owned by the banks which are governed by Marx's proposed central banks. Bankers made up a large portion of the bourgeoisie around the time of the manifestos publication. This manifesto is self contradicting and the work of a devil's advocate, Marx proclaimed that if God does exist his soul was taken out of hell and assigned to him. Abolition of religion and abolition of family? Really? This guy has influenced how knowledge should be perceived, no wonder why we live in a hell disguised as a paradise.

Straight from the horse's mouth. It's a must read for anyone unironically calling themselves a communist.
