I happened to find the audio version and it's less than 2 hours in length, so I figured, what the hell.
I know I studied some of his works in political philosophy, but I'm not sure if I had read this: his most famous, but least philosophical book. Like it or not, this is one of the most influential books ever written and considering that it was published in 1848, a surprising amount of what he writes sounds strangely familiar to our present circumstances.

Well, that statement certainly didn't age well.
I'm planning on reading this book again, I feel like you have to to really understand everything that Marx and Engels are trying to say. I also did my self a disservice by reading it digitally - it's just harder for me to focus while reading nonfiction texts that way.
With that being said:
Most of my knowledge of communism is based on 20th century communism, particularly communism as it was in USSR-controlled states, post WWII. I've interviewed people who grew up in these states, I've seen the museums remembering the victims of USSR communism, and I've seen the way it affected people I know in real life.
Does this book make good points? Sure.
Does this book give solid examples of how to put those points into practice? No.
This book is worth a read because of it's historical and political significance, but trying to apply it to today's modern age would be a disaster...kind of like communism historically was.

Indipendentemente dallโorientamento politico, questo รจ un libro da leggere per capire come e perchรฉ in tutto il mondo il partito comunista ha avuto momenti di grande lustro.
