Parts of the idea are good and logical, but some are questionable and then those that don't make any sense.The antagonising of one class by other and why the government should be in interest of proletariat is well put. But how should such a government function is vague and not properly discussed. Also the call for a violent overthrow of bourgeois government is just stupid and outright wrong. After reading this book i am now more inclined towards a socialist democratic Republic than communist.This book is very inspiring at times, but has a lot of loopholes.
The book is also very tedious and hard to understand, as if Marx never wanted the lower class to understand it. (lol)

Ignoring the political theory in the book, the narrative voice of the manifesto was quite engaging with its didactic tone.

bour·geoi·sie: /ˌbo͝orZHwäˈzē/ noun the capitalist class who own most of society's wealth and means of production.
pro·le·tar·i·at: /ˌprōləˈterēət/ noun workers or working-class people, regarded collectively.
Although I needed no persuasion to conclude that capitalism is fertile ground for the corruption of the bourgeoisie and the exploitation of the proletariat, Karl did not sell me on revolutionary socialism as the answer to all of our woes.
On the other hand, Marx isn’t the heinous, horned dastard that Joseph McCarthy and Ronald Reagan would have us believe. Unlike so many of those around me, I needed to see this thing for myself before I could condemn its deficiencies (or praise its virtues).

This is basically the pathetic loser's version of reading Capital. Which is fine with me.
