After reading the Communist Manifesto‚ I don’t think the political system in the United States mirrors that of a communist at all. We are most definitely a capitalist government as Marx very well mentions and his remarks on this type of government and society we have are very accurate. Sure enough‚ private companies and high competition in the states are still run by individuals rather than the government‚ thus‚ opposing his prescriptions. However‚ in our country we certainly have a few aspects of

Professor Mullen Haley Barnes Eng 101 12:20-1:10 7 November 2014 The Communist Manifesto In the reading‚ the communist manifesto‚ Marx talks about ten main points on how to turn our society into a communist society.

I don’t think that anyone should be able to just randomly decide that they get to take your property away from you. I do not
