The Communist Manifesto (Audiobook)

The Communist Manifesto, originally titled Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei) is a short 1848 book written by the German Marxist political theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It has since gone down in history as one of the world's most influential political manuscripts.[1] Commissioned by the Communist League, it laid out the League's purposes and program. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and present) and the problems of capitalism, rather than a prediction of communism's potential future forms.[2]

The book contains Marx and Engels' Marxist theories about the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."[3] It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism, and then eventually communism.

@NOLA556 "there's nothing voluntary about being forced into a collective"

There's nothing voluntary about entering US (by birth or immigration) and having to follow all the rules of US either. You may have a "freedom to fail or succeed", however in practice the difference between having 0% chance of succeeding and 0.0000000001% chance of succeeding is rather negligible.

@BeGrunge

I came to this video to learn more about the CM. you know... know thy enemy?

at the core of individual freedom is voluntary association. there's nothing voluntary about being forced into a collective. at least with capitalism (which is NOT what the U.S. currently has) you have the freedom to fail or succeed. you're not forced to subsidize everyone else's failures. that's what I meant by "leave me alone, I'll leave you alone"
