From my little knowledge, it seems to be a fair diagnosis of political climate during the Industrial Revolution, outlining the many issues of the bourgeoisie that are applicable today and that I agree with. Though, naturally, there were many passages I whole-heartedly disagreed with and found rather extremist. Nonetheless I found it a rather entertaining though dense read from almost two centuries ago.

Who will win? The bourgeois vs. proletarians?

β€œIn these crises there breaks out an epidemic that, in all earlier epoch, would have seemed an absurdity – the epidemic of overproduction. Society suddenly finds itself put back into a state of momentary barbarism; it appears as if a famine, a universal war of devastation, had cut off the supply of every means of subsistence; industry and commerce seem to be destroyed; and why? Because there is too much civilization, too much means of subsistence, too much industry, too much commerce.” p.11

β€œThe Socialistic bourgeois wants all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom. They desire the existing state of society minus its revolutionary and disintegrating elements. They wish for a bourgeoisie without a proletariat.” p.44


This thing talked more about capitalism than it did about communism wtf
