Not only did it do that but it showed the reasons why communist stand for what they do. Overall I think Marx did a good job on the Manifesto which can be seen in his clear explanations and arguments. Marx starts the book off by immediately showing that there has always been class struggle from “freeman and slave‚ lord

Throughout reading this novel so far‚ I have come to notice that
