Status Updates From Manifest der Kommunistische...

Im not a communist, but figured I should read this so I know what people are talking about when they talk about communism, and know how people are wrong when they talk about communism.

So far a lot of it is going over my head and I do agree with some of his points so far. It's obviously very old and im not used to reading things from the 1800s, so its kind of a struggle.

The past 30 pages or so has been more of a historical reflection of the class struggle, where capitalism drives innovation, it does so from exploitation, inequality and instability. He also notes the reason this has not thrived before (as they did not necessarily "invent" the notion of communism, but rather "coined" it.) was due to greed, where only the wealthy nations survive, colonizing others communaly structured.

I decided to hit the manifesto itself and read the intro after. See my comment for my thoughts.

Decided to read the text and hit the intro later.

Everyone should read the manifesto once in their life. I do not believe communism to be a solution, but I find myself inclined to fix the issues of capitalism pointed out in the manifesto. If you want to hear my full thoughts, contact me directly.
