The Communist Manifesto

A layman’s review

No one asked for this, but still...
Okay first advice: keep a dictionary around(or the Google Assistant).
One might say that this book is too much information in a short number of pages (me being 'one’), but we have to understand that Karl(my childhood friend) is trying to explain the entire idea of communism(which is kind of complex) in less than a 100 pages(that’s a manifesto). The book is amazing. It makes you understand communism to the core and what it stands for. The sentences are too long with too many commas. Bear with it. Oh yeah and you’ll have to actually pay attention while reading(it’s not Percy Jackson), or else it won’t make sense at all. This book makes you want to rebel but then you realize your family belongs to the bourgeoisie and not the proletariat (and then you thank god that India is capitalist). I know you didn’t understand those words. Bourgeoisie: middle class (kind of upper-middle-class)
Proletariat: working class, the one who work on minimum wage
Chill, even I googled this.
The book is full of words, which if used in random conversations, can make you look extremely knowledgeable.
Now comes the main question, would this book make you a communist?! The answer lies in the impressionability of your mind. I personally think it wouldn’t because the communist movement wasn’t for the class of the society that you belong to. Maybe your maid or your driver might become a communist after reading this book. But then again, if they are able to understand these long comma filled sentences they wouldn’t be doing what they are doing in the first place.🙂
