The communist manifesto was written for a different historical moment but so much of it is still spot on.
I mean come on, it opens basically like “Everyone in the current status quo has already painted communism as their biggest most powerful enemy, may as well unite and make it become that.”
Feels pretty topical given that multiple countries are thinking about naming antifa, which isn’t an organization, a terrorist group.
Yep! All the people that shy away from the name “communist” or “socialist” purely due to optics end up hurting their legitimacy. They’ll get slandered as such anyways, and disconnect themselves from the working class.
More of a fan of The Principles of Communism though if we are talking introductory theory. The Manifesto of the Communist Party is good, but more of an agitprop leaflet than an actual work of theory.
