    If Tankie means somewhat supporting what the URSS/China did, then YES.

    I’m not communist, I’ve never read the manifesto but I’m more aligned with their ideals and the materialism philosophy than anything else, and I saw this quote that marked me. I paraphrase: “… the worst communist implementation was still better/on par than the best capitalist country”.

      The Communist Manifesto was basically a pamphlet written to be understood by mostly uneducated workers… There’s not much reason to have never read it at this point, regardless of personal politics.

      We’re not talking Atlas Shrugged or Das Kapital. It’s like 30 pages or something.

        Well a simple reason is interest, is not my priority.

        We’re not talking Atlas Shrugged or Das Kapital.

        And I also want to read Capital, but again is not my priority in the near feature.
