One hundred and fifty years after the publication of the text that has influenced more than any other the history of the 20th century, the Manifesto of the Communist Party is released with an introduction by Eric Hobsbawm. As the British intellectual notes, "the goal of the edition is to remind that on the eve of the 21st century, the Manifesto still has much to say to the world."

"If one wants to understand the great mystery of life, they must study all its aspects, not just the narrow doctrinal view of the Jedi."
Keeping in mind the above excerpt from Palpatine in Episode 3 of Star Wars, I started reading the famous manifesto with an open mind, and although I don't really belong to the political sphere it represents, I can't say that I didn't find value and truth in some of the ideas and proposals mentioned here. One should read it and decide for themselves, judging with their ethics, philosophy, and historical knowledge whether the message of the book is "good" or "bad".
What I can safely say without political prejudice, though, is that this is not a very pleasant, easy, or particularly timeless book. There are points where we are bombarded with complex terms of class, economic, and social structure and relationships that challenge my non-humanities-oriented brain. There are also many references to events, political parties, or situations of the time the book was written that would confuse anyone without the necessary knowledge.
I believe that a modern abbreviation or commentary of the book that provides context elsewhere would be preferable to reading it in its entirety.
I received this particular book as a gift 3 years ago, and I can confidently say that I have not received a better one. Simple, understandable, and timeless. It helps you delve into the idea of Marxism despite its small size, and definitely gives you a new perspective on the issues of modern socio-economic organization
