About this listen

Widely debated since its publication in 1848, The Communist Manifesto is one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. Presenting an analytical approach to the problems of capitalism and the resulting class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the text lays out the rationale and goals of communism as conceived by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

This edition of The Communist Manifesto is based on the English edition of 1888. In addition, this collection includes the following essays and writings by Marx, translated by H. J. Stenning: "A Criticism of the Hegelian Philosophy of Right", "On the King of Prussia and Social Reform", "Moralizing Criticism and Critical Morality: A Polemic Against Karl Heinzen", "Proudhon", "French Materialism", and "The English Revolution".

Jesus, he goes on a bit doesn't he?

It would pay to know a little of the social and political history of Germany, France and England to have some context of what he is saying. a considerable amount of his underlying philosophy is based on social constructivism and the human mind being a blank slate which, Science has completely debunked, of which Steven Pinkers book, The Blank Slate, gives good account.
An interesting an inticing concept overall but ultimately, as history has demonstrated grossly flawed.
