Mais de vinte anos após a queda do Muro de Berlim e o fim da União Soviética, o legado intelectual de Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels ainda pode ajudar a compreender as transformações do mundo contemporâneo? A crise financeira deflagrada em 2008 escancarou as fragilidades estruturais do capitalismo e ratificou diversos postulados dos autores do Manifesto do Partido Comunista. Desde então, o grande número de reedições dos livros basilares do marxismo em todo o mundo atesta que o estudo das contradições inerentes à reprodução do capital tem se renovado e ampliado.

Simple explanation of Marxism

4 stars

The manifesto is not a highly complex and detailed view of Marxism and its' concepts. It served as an easy read for people to get a simplified understanding of the oppression structures during the industrial revolution and lists a set of goals which should be achieved to establish a communist society.

This should be seen as an easy introduction to the Marxist philosophy and a potential starting point for further research into this topic.

An interesting historical read

4 stars

The manifesto is mostly just interesting as a historical piece for me, especially in terms of leftist history. Ideologically it's still pretty interesting to read, however some parts of it have naturally become a bit outdated which has even been acknowledged by Marx and Engels some 25 years later.

The edition of the manifesto I read even includes multiple prefaces by Engels throughout the years which further gave an amazing insight into history and what they felt and thought at the time. Additionally the book also included Engel's The Principles of Communism which practically functioned as an FAQ to fully illustrate what exactly Communism is and it stands for.
