About this listen

Without question one of the most significant books in modern history, The Communist Manifesto is a brief, populist pamphlet that distils the core ideas of communism into accessible prose. Published just months before violent uprisings threatened to destabilize much of the European establishment, it outlines a view of history as a constant battle between the classes that will inevitably result in revolution. An angry call for a stateless world where the workers are no longer exploited, its depiction of the remorseless nature modern capitalism is as alarming and striking now as it was in 1848.

A great peice of history and philosophy well read and at a perfect pace. This really makes you think and also educates throughout. I highly recommend this to anyone with a love of history or an interest in a less self-centred oppositional view to capitalism.

Understanding how moments in history can shape our future fascinates me. Some of the key precepts of communism exist in modern societies across the world and many do not. Whether it can work in its entirety for a nation is debatable.

Fascinating

If anyone wants to understand the horrors unleashed by communism in the last century, they could do worse than starting with the Communist Manifesto. Destruction of the family, destruction of national identity, destruction of religion, introduction of income tax, central banks controlled by the state. It’s all here, and it’s always ended in starvation and the death of hundreds of millions.
