Sintesi dell'editore
Without question one of the most significant books in modern history, The Communist Manifesto is a brief, populist pamphlet that distils the core ideas of communism into accessible prose. Published just months before violent uprisings threatened to destabilize much of the European establishment, it outlines a view of history as a constant battle between the classes that will inevitably result in revolution. An angry call for a stateless world where the workers are no longer exploited, its depiction of the remorseless nature modern capitalism is as alarming and striking now as it was in 1848.

Good listen
I really enjoyed this listen a great deal. Definitely something all should listen to. I only wonder how communism would have made out if in a country that already had wealth to spread such as America. Instead, it always fell in the hands of the wrong people.

Taken in the context of it's time...
The performance is solid: whether or not you agree with the observations and claims made is going to depend on your personal Political beliefs.
The Communist Manifesto highlights patterns and struggles of working class peoples around the world. I gave the "Story" a 4 because, although I personally hold many beliefs in common with the Communist Party of yore, but I find their willingness to disregard other movements as either problematic : the integrity of ones race, for instance, is viewed as important, despite working class citizens struggling regardless of race or ideology, and issues of gender equality are mostly just dismissed as problems that aren't severe, and will be solved by the inevitable rise of the Proletariat.
Taken in the context of it's time, I understand where these policies and beliefs come from and can personally set them aside from the ideology of the contemporary movement. I would give it 5 stars, but not in the modern context.
Modern readers or listeners will need to determine for themselves if they believe that the otherwise non-problematic ideas are inherently valuable enough to share or discuss a text that has problematic concepts within it.
As always with history, standing on the shoulders of Giants means personally understanding that not all ideas of the past are worth keeping: With any historical philosophical text, it is important to keep that in mind when deciding what value one gains from such works.

Good work comrades!
A review requires at least fifteen words. Blah blah blah seize the means of production.

so very hard to finish the manifesto has already become irrelevant in modern society removing freedom from the individual so that we can all be miserable.

Required reading (listening)
If anyone wants to understand the horrors unleashed by communism in the last century, they could do worse than starting with the Communist Manifesto. Destruction of the family, destruction of national identity, destruction of religion, introduction of income tax, central banks controlled by the state. It’s all here, and it’s always ended in starvation and the death of hundreds of millions.

Non Optional Reading
This book illuminates the mechanisms behind the genocidal Communist countries of the 20th Century. It's primary focus is towards hate of 'the other' and the destruction of Western democratic society and tradition.
It also helps us understand how this ideology has splintered into modern ideas such as Feminism, Political Correctness, Gender Ambiguity etc, or perhaps these ideas could even be part of a 5th column working today to undermine the stability of Western democratic societies.
The diametrically opposed 'Mein Kampf' should be your next stop to understand further how 'good intentions' can be turned into murderous actions.

One to be shared
A great peice of history and philosophy well read and at a perfect pace. This really makes you think and also educates throughout. I highly recommend this to anyone with a love of history or an interest in a less self-centred oppositional view to capitalism.

A great insight
The first hour of the book is from The Communist Manifesto, the last 30 minutes are notes fra Karl Marx.

A Social Science Students Thesis
I can see why middle class (petite bourgeoisie) college and university students are attracted to this stuff. It sounds like it was written by one of them with no contemplation of human nature, social mobility and invention.
The bourgeoisie themselves sound like a great new world order conspiracy and it's almost as if Marx would harken a return to fuedalism. Marx sounds more like a MAGA insurrectionist than a socialist, which he also seems to deride (socialism) as part of a bourgeoisie mechanism to keep the classes in check.
There's also the contempt for "machinery". Who knew communists were such luddites? I wonder what Marx would make of a modern society do addicted to technological progress yet profess to be so in love with his ideals?
Very enlightening read. I look forward to learning more about communism and Marx from the sources because you certainly won't learn speaking to professed Marxists this day and age.

Marxism = fake socialism
Capitalist disinformation and an attempt to shift the conversation about socialism to “workplace democracy” and anti-government activism rather than actual socialism which is defined as
“the use of public funds to pay for public services”. It is also an attempt to push the false propaganda that socialism and communism are the same thing.
Complete drivel designed to confuse the public written by controlled opposition agents of capitalism/fascism/imperialism.
