Reviews

[Abraham Lewik · Rating 2 out of 5]

Deeply engaged within their political arena, Mr. Marx & Mr. Engels wrote extensively about names & places of significant figures. Preaching to an audience of composed more of the illiterate & innumerate than the educated, they popularised science & economics concepts. Without fully listing the sub-headings, know that many have aged badly such as the Critique of the Gotha Program. For contrast, Origin of the Family, Private Property & the State is a lively reading for those interested in the ape mob to metropolitan throng transition. A lot has changed since they joined the secret Communist League and major revolutions in Europe are listed which grows perspective on their urgency of the writing.

Inconsistency between the articles in this book is a by-product of dialectical method. So by first conceiving of a brilliant insight & principle of history, that changing technology leads a changing society, it is expressed & applied in variation. At the era of history these men lived, it was a principle of history that tore apart stability, severely disrupting the status quo in hope of a new utopia unspoken by the Church or the nobility. So by trying so hard to advance the world by interpretation of a 'Law of History', some crud renders sections monotonous repetitions of the unfolding of the Law.

Marxist economics persist, although faded and analogous with the Rosetta Stone than the Mesopotamian Star Tables. This is a testament to the ease-of-use and universality of the theory. Many modern authors popularise science, to acknowledge the efforts of Mr. B. Cox, yet the content is bereft of applicability. Propagating & divining a major shift in global-historical systems of production & distribution, Mr. Marx & Mr. Engels left an extensive written record stained by the extreme violence consequent to their era.

Includes Engel's "Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy."

better than the manifesto

[Eric · Rating 4 out of 5]

Important historical work, even if the ideas are pretty outdated nowadays. Recommended with a reader from Frankfurt School or some post-structuralist stuff (Foucault, etc.)
