Karl Marx - The Communist Manifesto III

"No matter what anyone tells you, it is not the responsibility of govornment or state to change society for the better. it can only be changed by individuals with good intentions."


"Proof enough is the fact that not one communist nation remaining can claim to be anything more than a third-world economic, cultural, and social power."


"Ayn Rand smashed the intellectual absurdities of Marx."


"Materialism is an incoherent, self-refuting philosophy. If everything is matter in motion, then the human being must be a machine, or less, a random collection of organic molecules. How can the person who asserts that he is a randomly-created machine know that this assertion is true? A random, chaotic bag of chemicals must be subject to error, by definition and reason. Materialism undercuts itself."


"When will the left finally be satiated? When will their blood lust finally succumb to pangs of conscience?"


"Now see this book talks about the utopian society. And since the last time I checked. We were not living in a Utopian society. So mr Marx was wrong because this book doesn't take into account the feelings of man. Every person deep down inside wants Power. So you will always have the exploiter. And no offense but the exploited aren't smart enough to rebel and make everything equal."


"The Communists consider it a kind of a bible. It's truely amazing, because when you read it, you can't help noticing that only people of very low intellect are able to write such text."


"Everything that Marx and Engels expounded in the hard to read piece of garbage was wrong ... if you are reading it to 'learn' something, you are only oppressing yourself."


"I don't want some freeloading parasite who doesn't know jack-squat about economics telling me that I should be forced to subsidize them, irregardless of whethter I think they've earned it."


"Although communism has since become a discredited ideology, there are still many who foolishly believe in its tenents. Unfortunately, many of those who do teach in our colleges and universities and they are indoctrinating our impressionable youth with these lies.

Communism isn't dead. It's merely dormant. All the more reason we need to be on guard so we can separate the truth, as it is found in Scripture, from the lies of heathen Bolshevism as espoused by Marx and Engels."


"Communist Manifesto is nothing but a garbled jargon spewing by Illuminati hired (...) Karl (...) Marx."


"Kinda a pointless book now that communism has been proven ineffective. I guess if you still want to live in this type of society you can move to Russa, China, Cuba etc. Lucky for them they have the US to give them foreign aid. Communism would be dead within a few decades without a capitolistic nation to support it."

AMERICA'S CURRENT DEBT TO CHINA: NINE HUNDRED AND SIX BILLION DOLLARS


"this was a good idea, but it is a big lie, just do your selfs a favor and stay away from this, and stick with reality."


"there has only ever been two types of political systems:
1. Slavery
2. Freedom

All political systems throughout history were systems of slavery (Especially Socialism/Communism/Fascism)
The United States tried to put together a system of freedom/liberty just over 200 years ago, but it was quickly perverted because it was not set up correctly.

If you are interested in a political system that promotes Morality (Right and wrong, not Christian morality) Life, Happiness, Freedom, Justus, Liberty and especially abundance, start with reading Atlas Shrugged and then read Socialism."

Karl Marx - The Communist Manifesto II

"This is Satan's plan pure and simple ... If negative ratings were available, I would give it five negative stars."


"Marx's lack of understanding of human nature borders on the ridiculous..."


"A must read... to find out what NOT to do!"


"Marx didn't understand human nature. He didn't know that we are all motivated by self-interest."


"As Mugatu said about Zoolander when he points out that all of the latter's 'looks' are actually the same: 'I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!' It makes little rational sense."


"Marx's understanding of human nature was faulty."


"I was not pleased with this book. The author is clearly not accord with the christian church."


"Like it or not, human nature says, 'Me first!'. That's the real world. People are selfish. Deal with it."


"I like the set up for economics but communism is to easily taken over by doctoral means by taking over the structure of the state that was meant to enslave in the first place."


"Eventually socialism crumbles because it stands contrary to the real world, contrary to truth and contrary to human nature ... Marx and Lenin and the other progressive know-it-all's who didn't understand how human nature works in the real world."


"Ragings of a communist lunatic. Small wonder Obama sought out followers of this crap."


"I still don't agree with your theory of government, sirs. It doesn't seem to take into account the psychological realities of human beings."


"I feel that the whole basis of the book is pride, pride against the rich, pride against anyone who is better than you."


"The application of Marxism never works, and can't work, because of the realities of human nature."


"As a debate coach, this book really annoyed me."


"The biggest problem with it is that it flies in the face of human nature, much like Christianity."


"Though the price is very good, communist philosophy has been proved failed again and agin throughout the history. It's sad that so many people nowadays try to change this nation into communist or socialism ( same role, just different name) not really knowing the truth, just based on some political ideology that human history had repeatedly proved to be failed. In fact communism is the worst political system that ever presented on earth ... If USA turned into communism, the power will shift to only those who hate the existing American system. They secretly controlling medias ( I already see it happened ) and brainwashing the youth with distorted facts in textbooks last 20 years. They keep change their names, their activity, and theory. Why? if they openly speak up, they know they will fail because any normal mind people will see the deception and its perversion. Look at these behind scenes of the head members. They are not normal mind, full of hatred, and causing always divisions, manipulations."


"Marx's understanding of human nature was faulty."


"Someone wisely said 'know your enemy.' That's my only reason for reading The Communest Manifesto by Good ole Crazty Karl."


"For an alcoholic wife abuser, Karl Marx didn't understand one hell of a lot about human nature."


"This book exposes Marx's ideology, one of the major, influential recent thinkers, next to Darwin and Hitler."


"I feel like a lot of this manifesto ignores human nature."


"Only an 'intellectual' can believe this garbage
Let's look at the results: over 100,000,000 killed and countless imprisoned, and an ideology for the Democratic Party ... Let's face facts, communism is for people who do not want to work or contribute anything to society, but only want to engage in their selfish, hedonistic lives. Get real!"


"The idea of perfect equality between men seems so righteous, even obvious.

This idea is wrong because it's just impossible."


"One reason Marx is difficult to understand is that he didn't understand the people
he toyed with with his grand schemes."


"I am not swayed by Marx's historical perspective, nor am I swayed by his prescription for how to solve what I believe to be an overblown, if not altogether nonexistent, problem"

Karl Marx - The Communist Manifesto

"Communism is a good idea in theory."


"A BBC poll a couple of years ago ranked Marx as the greatest philosopher to ever live. He wasn't a philosopher and he wasn't great. He wasn't even good. This tells me that people are idiots ... History = class struggles? Does any historian believe that? Is any philosopher a German Idealist Hegelian?"


"communism is a good idea...in theory."


"This is bullshit!! Everybody says Karl Marx is the best but the reality is.... shit.Believe it or not I worked for someone who believed in Marx and end up as a f...g conservative. This is the reality, not ' The Communist Manifesto'."


"Communism IS a good idea...in theory."


"More Evil hate and Murder has resulted from this book than any other ever written ... China will rule the next 100 years, they tried to follow Marx and it failed, now they are following Ayn Rand and flourishing. America unfortunately is moving in the opposite direction."


"Communism is a good idea in theory but won't ever work in practice."


"Something I couldn't understand while reading the Manifesto is how this was ever taken seriously here in America. He speaks about the inevitable class-warfare which must take place and how the proletariat must be victorious, but here in America we've never had a serious problem with classism."


"Communism is a good idea 'in theory'. It's just NOT a good idea in practice."


"It felt like one big letter to the editor about all the evils of the world. We know that things aren't great. Get in line if you wanna file a complaint. You don't need to publish a book detailing the failings of the modern age."


"I think communism is a good idea in theory, but won't work in practice."


"This book can be summed up in one word: boring. But that's just my opinion. I didn't get this book at all. Yeah it's about socialism, Marxism, the bourgeoisie, and stuff, but it's just too confusing to comprehend. In the copy I had, the Introduction was way too boring as well. If I had a choice in reading this book, I wouldn't even go near it at all."


"I think communism is a good idea in theory, but won't work in practice. The main problem as I see it is that the "State" decides everything, but the "State" is actually a few people. If these people get to decide everything, it means too much power is concentrated in their hands, and as we know power corrupts. The way our elected rulers act is bad enough, how bad would they be if they were as powerful as they would be in a communist society?

I'm also not convinced by the idea of everyone being equal. Apart from the fact that not everyone will be "equal" (as some will be in charge) surely there has to be a distinction between, say, a neurosurgeon and the person behind the counter in McDonalds? Admittedly our current system allows some people to be paid way over the odds (eg. footballers) but they are only really paid what their employers deem them to be worth. Is it really the State's job to decide their pay?"


"Srsly, tho, the world and it's economy has changed so much that I don't see this little booklet as being particularly relevant any more. Kinda like the Bible...."


"Communism is a good idea in theory. The idea that everyone is equal has always been captivating. Does it work in real life though? No."


"I don't really want to make much of a comment on this book because I really didn't like it and I didn't get it. I thought it was stuffy and old and completely boring with hardley a good idea in it at all."


"In theory, communism is a good idea... in theory."


"I had to read, re-read, and re-re-read the same sentences over and over. Four pages into it, I had had enough and threw in the towel."


"Communism is a good idea- in theory."


"This books is garbage. I mean It's good, but it's just another man angry because you have something he doesn't and he feels that he deserves it.
Ah, why communism fails."


"It's a great concept in theory, but never works in practice."


"One thing I learned from this book is how illiterate and stupid (obviously) Hitler was....."


"I think communism is a good idea.....in theory. The police will be here shortly :)."
