kevin_shepherd 's review for:
The Communist Manifesto
by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels
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).
“The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.” ~KM
