The Communist Manifesto, Volume One
It is long past time we take a look at the Communist Manifesto (instead of just sending it to dubious Woke Right outlets and getting them to
publish it). Obviously, this infamous document (
pdf) is not the beginning point of Communism, but is the beginning point of organized Communism, particularly of the Marxist type, which we have
recently and thoroughly discussed. In this long-overdue episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through the main body of the Manifesto of the Communist Party: preface, chapter one, and chapter two. In a subsequent episode (Volume Two in this mini-series) he will cover a later addition called "The Principles of Communism." There's a lot here, and you won't want to miss it.
