Reddit reviews The Communist Manifesto

What are you interested in? Do you have a time period or topic that interests you? You seem pretty keen on Christian history, so there are a few books that discuss that I could recommend you.

Or, I could recommend you books that talk more about the craft of history, the practice of the discipline. These books would (hopefully) show that history really isnt one big fixed thing, but a series of smaller, but interconnected, debates about what really happened.

Or, would are you interested in the classics, which have historical significance?

The trick with all this is to figure out what you really like. There are 10,000 history books out there that will put you to sleep, I promise you. Weve gotta figure out which ones wont. So, what interests you?

The Communist Manifesto is the cheapest thing on my wishlist that also has Prime. I don't remember why it's on there, but I'm not too compelled to remove it. :P

HA YOUR CAPITALIST PROPGANDA WILL FOOL ME. I ONLY LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF OUR IMMORTAL GOD LEADER KIM JONG UN. YOU WOULD DO WELL TO LISTEN TO HIS WORDS: https://www.amazon.com/Communist-Manifesto-Karl-Marx/dp/0717802418

Not everything I'm going to list is really libertarian per se but I think they do give important context for the libertarian/broader right wing movement

Economics in One Lesson. It's repetitive but gets the point across

Anarchy, State, and Utopia is a philosophical perspective

IThe Moon is a Harsh Mistress. It's difficult to call Heinlein a libertarian but this book definitely is. Also where the 'rational' part of my flair comes from!

There is No Alternative. I'm not sure how many people would consider Thatcher a libertarian but she's an important part of the history of the modern struggle against socialism that I think is overlooked in the United States

The Fatal Conceit. One of Hayek's must read works. A much shorter one that is I think just as important, Why I Am Not a Conservative

Atlas Shrugged. I'm not saying it's a good book or that you don't know of it but it's worth thumbing through just to see what all the hubbub's about. Prepare yourself for a latent S&M fetish.

Capitalism and Freedom. Maybe reading this will help you figure out why Naomi Klein seems to hate Friedman so much. Also very good and much more digestible is his television series Free to Choose and the similarly titled book

The Communist Manifesto. Provides good context. And maybe a chuckle.

That one seems a bit expensive, I bought the three dollar one and it's fine. Yours is probably higher quality though.

Okay again.... community owned centralized control of the means of production is a widely accepted definition of socialism. If you want to add on equal representation then go for it, but equal representation =/= community owned. There are several forms of community ownership that have nothing to democracy or representation. You are arguing semantics and saying the only real socialism is democratic socialism. You are making socialism, facisism, plutocracy, etc. a binary definition when all of our social contracts and thoeries are a matter of scale. Some people in America hate socialism/communism and think their government is the farthest thing from socialism the world has ever seen. Yet they have socialized education, socialized roads, socialized retirement, all sorts of socialism. They are somewhat socialist, just like Canada or EU socialism are a little more socialist.

I have only claimed that china has a socialist form of government as well and your responses is China is fascist. There is a such thing as social fascism, even if you do not want to think so.

Do you think the majority of chinese citizens hate their government? If China had a democratic vote today, do you think they would throw Winnie the pooh out of office? What if the democratic socialist Canadan voted to implement the same regulations, governmental power, social credit score, etc. as the chinese have now? Would Canadian no longer be socialist? You're view is so limited. You telling me you know how to define words doesnt me shit. Your argument is literally those governments are not socialist because there is no equal representation of the citizens for decision making, which is a requirement you have added. Your idea of western democratic socialism is more neo-capitalist than all of the governments you who say are just claiming to be socialist but arent really......

Honestly help yourself to a fucking political science book.
