Communist Manifesto: The revolutionary text that changed the course of history

Please young ones, you need to keep reading if you are in anyway opining for Marxism. You have a very shallow perceptions of communism. The only way to hold a utopia in ones hands is for no one to own anything, and for no one to know anything. Devalue the individual and value only minority in groups, allow a representative group to rule and this is the recipe for what through out world history always and for good reason goes wretchedly wrong. Resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people. This was a special form of hell. Communism can never go right, thus it never has. To say your communism would usher it a utopia is a ignorant foolish thing to say or think. the poor are actually getting richer under capitalism. A mask of pitty will not hide the ugly and slaughter set to this world by Dictatorships, Communism, and Authoritarian rule... Capitalism is not guilty if such sin... -the jewish chicxa

I honestly thought this was written by an angsty teen. Marx was an intelligent man but he clearly does not understand capitalism or how a business functions and grows. He completely disregards the fact that in a capitalist economy all transactions are voluntary. How can you be oppressed by an employer if you have agreed to a wage, hours, and the requested labor? There is a reason why no communist country has ever had a flourishing economy. You want to compare how well capitalism works vs communism? Just take one look at Russia, China, Venezuela, and then look that the US. Stronger economy, higher quality of life, and more advancements in industry, and don't forget FREEDOM. The fact is communism never works and anyone who thinks it does needs a history book.

People don't know that there are many different types. Just because Stalin was a horrible dictator doesn't mean it's bad. That's like saying Monarchy is bad because of Napoleon.
