A review by ostrava
The Principles of Communism by Friedrich Engels

A bit dated. That's what happens when your book is more of a FAQ oriented at the people of your time, as opposed to serve as an outline of ideas for any kind of generation. But that doesn't mean it doesn't do its job well, it's somehow better as an introduction to communism than the Manifesto. Clearly more useful to go back to if you're looking for Engels perspective, but the one it gives on solutions interests me less than the historical one.

Also worth noticing is that Engels didn't have the writing skills of Marx, so while there's more clarity, it's somehow less inspiring as a result.
