"A specter is haunting Europe—the specter of Communism."
PROs:
* One of the most influential books of all time that changed the world
* Unique view of how history has progressed
* Compelling critique of capitalism
* Introduces a completely novel economic system
CONs:
* Many of the complaints lodged against capitalism do not hold nearly as much weight now
* Hard to fully comprehend without a pretty good understanding of European history and economic history
"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guildmaster and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed."
The Communist Manifesto covers a very large amount of information in a very short amount of time. This inevitably means that the statements made are not fully supported, but this is not the point of a manifesto, the purpose of which is to powerfully and coherently state a set of goals for a particular party.
I think the first part of the manifesto was the most interesting. In it a unique (but brief) evaluation of history is given, with Marx's famous "class struggle" statement. It is concluded that all antagonisms and conflicts in history have their root in class warfare (nobleman and serf, freeman and slave, etc.) Up until Marx's time, each epoch in history had many different classes, and each time a lower classes would rebel against the upper class minority, the only thing accomplished would be a reconstructed class system with the same root problem.
