"The communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditional relations; no wonder that its development involved the most radical rupture with traditional ideas."
There are some little books that change history and it is interesting to be able to read them critically. I've heard this slim volume referred to so many times and yet reading it was really quite interesting.The writing is amazing. It is amped to the wazoo. You almost feel sorry for the impassioned pleas within, that the whole communist thing doesn't exactly work out. Newsflash, people are pretty much greedy. There are also some holes to be poked in some of the ideas. Nevertheless, the idea of just taking your share is a solid one. Much of the fear mongering text reminded me of a Trump rally and I completely understand the incongruous nature of that assertion. Still imagine writing something in 1848 that people are still reading in 2019.
3 out of 5 - it is a short tract.
