(  )1   Anagarika | Nov 3, 2009 |  As a libertarian, I don't agree with everything that Marx had to say, but I am able to understand his ideology. It's a good book to read just to find out a large amount of information. I don't think it would be successful, but it's interesting to read about nonetheless. Though I don't agree with Marx, he was still a very detailed writer. (  )1 sealford | Aug 27, 2009 | This is a classic that all Americans hsould read. Although The Communist Manifesto was written mainly for Europe, there are a myriad phrases that link America to communism (and disprove the "America is a capitalist" meme). (  ) 06nwingert | Jul 21, 2009 | The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx (1998)  krisiti | Jul 1, 2009 | In 1848, two young man published what would become one of the defining documents of modern history. The Communist Manifiesto, as it was called, rapidly realigned political faultlines all over the world, and its aftershock resonates to this day.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0140447571, Paperback)"A spectre is haunting Europe," Karl Marx and Frederic Engels wrote in 1848, "the spectre of Communism." This new edition of The Communist Manifesto, commemorating the 150th anniversary of its publication, includes an introduction by renowned historian Eric Hobsbawm which reminds us of the document's continued relevance. Marx and Engels's critique of capitalism and its deleterious effect on all aspects of life, from the increasing rift between the classes to the destruction of the nuclear family, has proven remarkably prescient. Their spectre, manifested in the Manifesto's vivid prose, continues to haunt the capitalist world, lingering as a ghostly apparition even after the collapse of those governments which claimed to be enacting its principles.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:22 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
