This title is the classic communist party manifesto which started this one and a half decade political movement. The seven rarely published prefaces, mostly written by Frederick Engels after the death of Karl Marx, are included making this publication the complete communist manifesto. Although this title is known as one of the most famous left-wing propagandist publications, it serves as a lesson for those of all political philosophies. The Communist Manifesto should be required reading when studying political science, radicalism and radical political thought.

My Review,
By
This review is from: The Communist Manifesto: Complete With Seven Rarely Published Prefaces (Paperback)
I wanted to read this book for a couple of reasons. One is that I wanted to get a better understanding of communism and other economic and political theories that were influenced by it or related to it in someway. I also wanted to compare the modern United States and it's history to The Communist Manifesto. I think everyone in the U.S. should read it. It is not very long and is easy to read. I was very pleased with amazon.com the price was perfect and it got to me in a timely manner. ***(I am not a communist but I gave it four stars because it helped me to better understand my own government and I was happy with Amazon.com as usual.)***

This review is from: The Communist Manifesto: Complete With Seven Rarely Published Prefaces (Paperback)
A concept born in a simpler time used as an excuse for many things from Socialism to controlled capitalism. As with any pivotal work one should read it for his/her self. There is always the chance of misinterpretation by an individual, but if you do not read this then you are just accepting someone's word anyway.
This is more than an economics book it is a way of life. It sounds good on paper but makes a lot of assumptions. Instead of worrying about workability, look at the logic that is built on assumptions of that time (written, in 1848). Add this to your library. You can pick a side (pro or con) and make a stand if you like; but look at the size of this book and realize that many people will just use the title and build their own case. You will have read the real thing. And be sure to balance it with. "The Capitalist Manifesto" by Louis O. Kelso The Capitalist Manifesto ~ by Louis O. Kelso

A Monumental Piece of Work,

This review is from: The Communist Manifesto: Complete With Seven Rarely Published Prefaces (Paperback)
There are very few books that have changed the course of history. The Communist Manifesto is one of them. Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels set forth a radical idea that would change the course of history and the world we live in. Regardless if you agree with them or not they created something that people still talk about and debate to this day. All you need to do is read the Manifesto really; there is no need to read the prefaces that follow. Everyone should read it just so you know what goes through the mind of a (true) communist.
