To be fair, the Communist Manifesto is not really a clear cut guide on how to end capitalism. Things like Lenin’s “What Is To Be Done?” and “State and Revolution”, Mao’s “On Practice”, Guevara’s “Guerrilla Warfare”, etc. are much closer to being guides with concise goals and steps to achieve them. Though really no theory can truly serve as a perfect step-by-step blueprint, but rather a scientific method to analyze one’s current conditions and form a plan that works accordingly.
Agree. Lenin - State and Rev, and Lenin - Leftwing Communism: an infantile disorder, lay out clear step-by-step instructions, and pitfalls encountered along the way, guided by experience of revolution and civil war.
But as both Lenin and Mao said, winning the war is the easy part, constructing socialism with few models to go on is a lot more difficult.
The Manifesto here is meant to symbolize the entire ideology, not just the one book
I gotcha. I just notice a lot people, from Jordan Peterson types all the way to self-described communists/and socialists, seem to think the Manifesto is an end-all-be-all for communist theory, when in reality it’s only an introductory “what we stand for” pamphlet
Definitely noticed that too, which is of course what makes it such a powerful symbol
Literally this
Oh and the few ones who still raised hand when you show the communist manifesto are 70% trots, 20% Gonzalite and 10% patsoc and shit
