I am interested in politics, and even tho i am not a communist, i am interested in what can be learned from it and i also want to learn more about political ideologies as a whole, instead of speaking out of my ass whenever someone mentions communism and potentially say some bullshit. What do you think?
Edit: thanks for all the answers! I swear i read them all, i just don’t know how to answer to each of them, but thanks for all the recommendations!
The Communist Manifesto is a very short, somewhat satirical pamphlet meant for Agitation, not Education. Should you read it? Sure, it’ll take you like 10 minutes! But you’re probably familiar with the ideas it introduces: that the working class should band together, rise up and seize control of the farms and factories, the tools and machines, by any means necessary. The Manifesto doesn’t go into much more detail than that, since it was intended as a Mass propaganda tool.
Unfortunately, in order to really understand the nitty-gritty of Marxism you must read Capital, or a later work that heavily references it (such as State and Revolution, an easier read).
