Status Updates From البيان الشيوعي

Last manifestoes didn't do much for me; Canadian one reflected an interesting time in our history that made me realize how little I know about Canada's past, but was way longer than needed. Interesting in how it shows ability to vote doesn't fix all ills like M & E predicted, especially when representation is slanted by region bias. Final essay should've been placed earlier with other French stuff. Thought provoking!

Engels' writing ends w/ account of communism's history. Liked the detailing of splintering groups being scattered by the law only to reform stronger. Interesting assessments of US/Canada, but other travelogue unneeded. Transitions to other manifestoes, incl. from French Revolution that added great context of precedents to communism. Brit manifesto was complete fluff; far vaguer than the CM. Canadian manifesto next!
