Summary: Great Work
Review: Despite the fact that this book seems a little too challenging to our social system and too radical according to our culture, it is really so greatly written. It sounds so true even today that I can't help rating it five stars. We are living in a democratic nation; however, sesorship seems to shut me from talking too much about communism. However, things in the real world is not always divided into good and bad so clearly. Yes, it is so true that most communist, or so called, socialist, countries today or sevral ten years ago are totalitariate, but I feel that this is not really the fault of communist or giving the right to rule to the working class. It is more likely that almost everyone has some sort of selfishness in their heart even if they don't notice this. Communism is based on sharing and equality of everyone, thus no one would really enforce it; and at the same time, no one can enforce anything inside a real communist country at all because a real communist country actually has no social phase at all - it is ruled by all the people, and therefore, no one actually rule over anyone else. Also, most communist rulers use their system to gain power and advatages rather than regarding communism as something. As well, everything has its opposite. Our opposite and enemy somehow is just a competitor. This competitor is just competiting with us, so we have no way to say it good or bad - naturally. Of course, we are going to rate it to the worst basis because they (the rulers) rate us on teh same basis. Any way, this book is worth-reading.

Summary: An alternate economic & political system?
Review: Marx's "Communist Manifesto" is a response to human cost of Industrial Revolution. It was a time when Europe was coming of age, with the development of modern industry and the potential world market. This market had an immense development to commerce, to navigation and to industry. These improvements were enacted at a cost of society as a whole divided into two hostile camps -the bourgeoise and the proletariat. Marx immersed himself into the suffrage of the new urban proletariat at the hands of bourgeoise modern capitalist. His solution lay in the abolition of private property living in a society where all are equal.I found this document an interesting read, as this short concise book simply explains the "theory" of one economic system. It should be noted the democracy prevalent at the time of this books introduction closely resembled an oligarchy, in which the rich and powerful ruled the weak. The impact of socialist ideology on this situation was great: labor movements were created, egalitarianism became a greater part of democracy ideology and the lower classes became more significant to the political system than they had ever been before. The greatest weakness one can note of Marx's argument, is his failure to predict the significance of the middle class in the nations. Marx's view was that the middle class would either be absorbed into the working class or proprietors. The success of the middle class in present times accounts for the failure of Marx's theory.

Summary: This Book is what Killed 90 MILLION people Worldwide
Review: This book started communism. Communism is responsible for 90 MILLION deaths world-wide. Now, how can this book have such a high Amazon rating? It is beyond me. Shows how stupid people can be. Communism doesn't work, and it is not a fair way of living. So, don't buy this book. And if you do, don't forget that you are being brainwashed. Remember the 90 million dead as you read this. I mean, 30-40 million in China, 30 million in Russia, and more in other countries. That's how many communism has killed. And people say Hitler was a bad man!
