The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels

Go to review page

informative slow-paced

2.5

as informative as the communist manifesto is and as much as i agree with the politics, marx is often times a poor writer and i found it difficult to decipher what he was actually conveying, which made for an overall boring and time consuming read
