☭ THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO - FULL AudioBook - by Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels

🔻THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO🔻FULL AudioBook 🎧📖 | Greatest🌟AudioBooks | Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels | The Communist Manifesto was conceived as an outline of the basic beliefs of the Communist movement. The authors believed that the European Powers were universally afraid of the nascent movement, and were condemning as "communist," people or activities that did not actually conform to what the Communists believed. This Manifesto, then, became a manual for their beliefs.

In it we find Marx and Engel's rehearsal of the idea that Capital has stolen away the work of the artisan and peasant by building up factories to produce goods cheaply. The efficiency of Capital depends, then, on the wage laborers who staff the factories and how little they will accept in order to have work. This concentrates power and money in a Bourgeois class that profits from the disunity of workers (Proletarians), who only receive a subsistence wage. (Cont'd below)...

(Cont'd)
If workers unite in a class struggle against the bourgeois, using riot and strikes as weapons, they will eventually overthrow the bourgeois and replace them as a ruling class. Communists further believe in and lay out a system of reforms to transform into a classless, stateless society, thus distinguishing themselves from various flavors of Socialism, which would be content to have workers remain the ruling class after the revolution.
The Manifesto caused a huge amount of discussion for its support for a forcible overthrow of the existing politics and society. (Summary by Mark F. Smith)

[@TheGiantMidget]

@@teutonicterror0365He doesn't correctly identify what the actual classes are. he treats classes as though they are fixed monolithic entities with no movement between them. A class, like many group identifications isn't something that actually exists in reality. it is an abstract concept that describes certain attributes of those who belong to it. The actual human beings who are in a class change constantly over time, as an example, most people who are in their early twenties belong to the lower class because they don't earn a lot of money due to the fact that they have very little work experience and haven't developed skills that they can command a higher salary for. As people age they tend to earn more and move from one income bracket to another but of course with every passing year a new generation of adults enters the workforce so there is a constant revolving door of workers in the working class. Marx talks about classes as though they are permanently made up of the same actual group of human beings. a worker who can save their own money or apply for a loan can buy capital of their own if they want to and become a member of the so called "burgoiuse". The actual class division that is more relevant is the productive class vs the non productive class. The non productive class only ever extracts resources but they never produce anything. Politicians, kings and emperors are in the non productive class and they can only extract resources through a monopoly on violence and forced taxation. Intellectuals are also in the non productive class. The non productive class has a vested interest in getting the productive class to give up their property rights because the non productive class needs to extract resources in order to thrive. The burgoise classification lumps non productive and productive people into the same group which is false. A capitalist who invests his money into his own means of production is by definition a member of the productive class and he is also forced to pay taxes to the government who doesn't produce anything. the capitalist and the worker are both in the productive class, they actually share a common enemy in the non productive ruling class. The difference between the capitalist and the worker is that the capitalist sells goods while the worker sells labour. Labour has a natural cap on it's selling potential because there's only so much labour one person can do in a day so of course they aren't going to make as much money from selling that commodity as a capitalist can from selling thousands of units of a commodity. But in exchange for his lower income the worker gets a guaranteed fixed monthly payment from his employer regardless of how much profit his employer makes that month and he is not liable for anything at his place of work. Marx failed to mention any of this and his philosophy is one that is used to stir up resentment among the productive class in order to give more power to the non productive class, of which marx himself was a member.

If you like this, you’d probably like Giovanni Gentile’s Fascist Manifesto. Rather than abolishing the state so that people can just sort of exist and “govern” themselves, Fascism aims at making everything a part of the state, meaning you’re an important cog in the clock that is the state, like everyone else and every company exists to make the state better, because the state is the embodiment of the people and therefore a better state means a better life for the people. You can certainly see how Marx’s class consciousness plays right into Fascism, making me think that had Marx been friends with Gentile instead of Engles, he’d have probably been a Fascist instead.

@@aaronlandry3934 the difference in Gentile's "corporatism" and Marx's "communism" theories of "collectivism" can basicly be summed up as: Corporatism denies both sides of the class struggle, instead pursuing class cooperation. Private property and the market economic model is maintained, though with regulation in place to ensure no bourgeois owner may take advantage of their workers and vice versa (via unions) and to ensure industry works in favor of the state and nation rather than against it. Corporatist economics are often combined with a syndicalist model of state-owned and regulated unions through which workers are represented. Communism, while professing the abolition of class, continues the class struggle in the opposite manner of capitalism, by presenting the advantage to the proletariat rather than the bourgeois. Corporatism has a market economy, a class system, and private property, while communism abolishes the concepts of class, money, etc. and puts the means of production in the hands of the "collective". Corporatism aims for class collaboration, while communism aims for class conflict. Corporatism aims to benefit those within a nation, while communism aims to benefit a class. Corporatism aims at structuring the use of private property, while communism aims at abolish private property To finish, Corporatism is neither Capitalism or Socialism, but a mix of concepts and elements from both, while Communism is socialistic.

[@norfolkenchants1238]

@@aaronlandry3934 sorry i should also add that Gentile belived in authoritarian coprationism rather than social corporatism (which is used to a degree in Nordic countries today) hence why he is considered "right wing" as he belived that the goals of "collective" corporatism can only be implemented with the dismantling of rival political ideologies and parties and run solely by a single state party, hence the purge of communist socialists in Fascist Italy, this is basicly the model that Mussolini incorporated when he came up with his own interpretation called "fascismo" which economic success was to bring about a "new roman empire" with himself as "emporer" and that everyone regardless of class were to benefit from but that never came true as Mussolini got power hungry and decided that him and a few of his friends (including Gentile) should benefit the most, as it was them that were going to "rebuild" the roman empire right? The original concept of Gentile's "fasism" was actually based on "Corporatism" but because of radicals at the time it ultimate led to Fascism as we know it today, in which Gentile's "blue print" was used by Mussolini.

[@courtneymckissick2014]

My husband and I have talked about this extensively. No country has ever actually been a communist country no matter what they claim. It always turns into an authoritarian government or dictorship because it's not understood or implemented correctly. That being said, we cannot possibly go full communist. It won't work. Capitalist economies foster free and competitive markets that foster innovation and economic development. Comparatively, communist countries would lack this competition that spurs innovation and could hinder the future success of a nation. As said by my husband, "I like people working for themselves but I want Ford making my truck". Also, communism doesn't want a government. Everything will be owned by the community. People would work to produce wealth according to their abilities. Everyone would share in this wealth according to their needs. But that doesnt work due to things like greed and laziness. People will have to agree on prices, how things are run, etc. and it isnt possible for everyone to agree on that. But there are things that can be agreed with such as everyone being teated equally and progressive tax. With a progressive tax, the tax burden is higher for the wealthy than it is for those with lower incomes. This kind of tax helps lower-income families pay for basics such as shelter, food, and transportation. Progressive tax systems improve the poor's ability to purchase everyday items as well, increasing economic demand. Many people get communism and socialism confused and fear them due to the dogma and fearmongering done after Russia tried to create a communist country and failed, resulting in a form of oligarchy and after the Nazis having socialism in their name. Russia was never communist in any sense; the country didn't check any of the boxes of communism. In order for a society to be communist it must be stateless, classless, moneyless and has common control of the means of production. If a society does not meet all four of these criteria than it cannot be accurately described as communist. A doctor in the Soviet Union was not paid the same as a construction worker. Additionally, the country had a rigid class system, the Soviet Union had a currency, and the Soviet economic model was based almost entirely on state control of the means of production, not common. The N*zi party may have began with socialism in mind but once H*tler took control, his primary focus was on achieving power whatever the cost and advancing his racist, anti-Semitic agenda. He became a dictator and imprisoned communists, socialists, lgbtqia, jews, etc. Socialists want to give people free access to basic life necessities like food, housing, and healthcare as human rights. Some socialists also believe employment should be guaranteed as a human right. This was not the case for the N*zis. They were purely capitalist. All forms of goverments can have problems. The cons of democracies or republics (yes a republic is a form of democracy; a representative democracy; the terms can be used interchangeably) include people elected may not always act in the best interest of their constituents, decisions can be slow, citizens' rights may not be always respected. A republic can be susceptible to corruption due to the power of elected representatives, and the possibility that the people’s interests may not always be served and politicians may deceive the mass of people with sugar-coated words just to win power. Lots of forms of government have failed at some point because they are implemented incorrectly or there was a power struggle. Examples include the Roman republic, the French republic, the socialist Venezuela, the democratic state of Nigeria, and the democratic state of Nepal. The Roman republic became a state run by an emperor due to economic problems, bribery, and corruption. The French republic collapsed four times before they figured it out. They had Neopolitan take over and political instability, including a series of weak governments and a lack of strong leadership caused many problems. The socialist country of Venezuela became an authoritarian government. For almost half of its existence as an independent state, the democratic state of Nigeria has been under military rule instead of civilian administration and the democratic state of Nepal has became more authoritarian, and recently introduced a new civil code (Muluki Ain), which also curtailed several of the rights prevalent in democratic nations. (To be honest, even the democracy of USA isn’t perfect.) There are also modern examples of countries calling themselves a form a government which they are not. Examples include China, Vietnam, North Korea, and Iran. China calls itself a communist state and also states it's a republic but it is neither. China is an authoritarian state where holds a monopoly on political power and there are no free and fair elections. Vietnam calls itself a socialist republic but has the same problem as China. North Korea calls itself the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea but is a dictorship ruled by the Kim dynasty and there are no free and fair elections. Iran calls itself a republic but is not fully a democratic state. The Guardian Council, which is made up of hardline Islamic scholars, has the power to veto any legislation that it deems to be contrary to Islamic law or the country's constitution. That is why we think it's best to do mixed governments. Take what works for the people from each form of government and reject the rest. There is good and bad that can be seen in all of it but the people's rights should always be put above all else. This includes rights to be who they are, live as they please, and believe in what they want to without interference from the government or other people. Rights should be included for everyone not just a few and nothing should be based in biases or personal beliefs of only a few. Everyone deserves to have their rights such as freedom of religion (including not believing in a religion), bodily autonomy, and personal freedoms. Many comments here show a lack in education and show that they didnt truly listen to the manifesto. Let's not confuse socialists and communists aka leftists and progressives and liberals. Under communism, most property and economic resources are owned and controlled by the community. A communist society would entail the absence of private property and social classes, and ultimately money and the state (or nation state). Communists often seek a voluntary state of self-governance but disagree on the means to this end. Socialism is opposed to authoritarian forms of governance, and democratic socialists believe that government should help provide basic needs to all of a country's citizens, such as healthcare and education, for free or at a reduced cost. While related, socialism and communism are different. Socialism, for instance, seeks to bring equality to the means of production to the working class. Communism takes this a step further and revolutionizes both aspects of production and consumption. In that respect, communism can be viewed as a more extreme version of socialism. Liberals believe in equality and individual liberty, supporting private property and individual rights, supporting the idea of limited constitutional government, and recognising the importance of related values such as pluralism, toleration, autonomy, bodily integrity, and consent. Progressivism seeks to advance the human condition through social reform based on advancements in science, technology, and social organization. Ending poverty and income inequality and securing a living wage for all people, protecting the fundamental right to organize, ending mass incarceration and advancing equal justice under the law, universal health care, upholding reproductive rights and taking urgent, inclusive, and transformative action on climate change. Although progressives and liberals are similar, progressives do take it further by dismantling structural racism and discrimination and closing the gap between rich and poor. Even then, not all leftists agree with each other. Some leftists want to get rid of the police and the military but they are socialist programs so socialists want to keep it. So no matter what you are taught to believe liberals, socialists and progressives want to keep these and keep letting lgbtqia in them along with keeping them multiracial and multicultural. And yes, these are all apart of the military and police. My family is a miltary family and as my brother stated while we all talked about people believing nonsense such as "no lgbtqia in the military", "mmmmmm, they're going to be disappointed".

[@justamaninTN]

No, you have missed the point and all other societies who tried to implement this ideology did as well. You are right in one aspect. Competition breeds innovation. However, competition also breeds winners and losers. What is never taught in class is that the losers are eradicated and the winners compete against other winners. If the process plays out indefinitely, eventually one company will own everything and innovation will cease. Competition is good. Monopolization is bad. Unfortunately, capitalism always leads to monopolization by its nature. The core principle of communism should be the elimination of a select few making most of the decisions and getting the lions share of the fruits of labor. What no communist country ever did, before or since, was to eliminate that relationship. The biggest problem in society is the totalitarian nature of (mainly) business and government organization. The fact that the CEO and board of directors make all key decisions and receive the largest salaries by far, which gives them outsized power over society. In this way, this USSR also failed. Instead of giving all the power to businessmen, they gave it to government officials. The key improvement we have failed to implement is DEMOCRACY IN THE WORKPLACE. All members of an organization need input into decisions of the industry, including their pay and movement of the company. We have democracy in politics. Why not the workplace as well? We want workers to compete against one another. We don’t want some boss who does none of the real work telling everyone what to do and firing them whenever they want. And furthermore, one of the biggest reasons business fail is because they FAIL to listen to the key insights gained by their workers. The narcissism and arrogance of management leads to the companies’ own stagnation and extinction.

@@Smooth0vibrationsone man means nothing in the scheme of things, you should know that. You think Marx just divined his work from his mind alone? If you did, you would be wrong. The ideas existed before him and it will exist long after him. If your looking for someone to blame for all of history's atrocities you need only look at one face - mankind's.

[@ssik9460]

@@user-kx2jz2go2d”the only reason I can make this comment is because of free enterprise” first of all no, this argument is stupid. Imagine somebody telling a critic of Communism in a communist country they can’t criticise it because all the mediums of criticism are provided by communism. It’s a stupid argument. Secondly, many components of the iPhone and almost every electronic device capable of communication through the internet requires certain metals most extracted in the DRC, where it is extracted by warlords using slave and child labour. Westerners always talk about how great Capitalism is but they forget everybody else has been fucked over by it for 2 centuries. I don’t need a iPhone, I need my people to not starve slaving away for foreign corporations. Finally, do you really think nationalism will work? Societies in isolation are poor and underdeveloped. Without cooperation it nothing works.

@@ssik9460 you’re conflating nationalism with isolationism. Not good. Nationalism is the political version of free enterprise. Free to enter into purchases and contracts that are mutually beneficial. Independent nations can freely trade can’t they?

I could relate to Marx's level of salt and cynicism when commenting upon society.

[@aaronlandry3934]

Funnily enough, you find this same level of salt in Giovanni Gentile’s Fascist Manifesto too. Though a key difference here is that Marx calls out to the Proletariat to overthrow the Bourgeoisie to control the state, whereas Giovanni Gentile views Fascism as the ultimate evolution of governing systems and calls for total submission of all to the state instead. Marx calls for the people to rule state themselves whereas Gentile calls for the people to work together and organize under one to better their state. If not for an Anarchist like Engles, Marx may have very well become a Fascist too. Both certainly hated society in the same ways

[@jimboonie9885]

[@norfolkenchants1238]

@@aaronlandry3934 first time I've seen Giovanni Gentiles fascism mentioned on youtube comments. Most people only read or hear about Eckart's/Hitler's or Mussolini's "philosophies" when it comes to fascism, which is quite different to its original conception by Gentile himself. What's funny is that the term "fascist" has lost all meaning and is only used as an insult, even during the Sino-Soviot border clashes in 1969, both sides repeatedly called the other "facists" because each thought that the others state was too authoritarian. In the modern world "fascism/fascist" is a blanket term for "an authoritative system of government" . You dont even need to be a fascist to be labelled a "fascist", technically even calling Marxist-Leninists "fascists" is colloquial correct if they are using an authoritarian regime to implement a "communist" society. Edit: now that I think of it the term "fascism/fascist" has actually changed meaning again in some parts of the world as an insult to the average nationalist, which is quite confusing to most in my country as almost all nationalists are socialists with past links to Marxism. I live in Northern Ireland btw.

[@aaronlandry3934]

@@norfolkenchants1238 I’m American and it’s very obvious that 95% of the people that use the word “Fascist/Fascism” have no real understanding of the word. In the US, it’s more of a blanket term for “bad person that I don’t like”, which is why both sides argue that the other one are the “real fascists”, despite both being Democratic Republicans with either right or left leans. If someone uses it as an insult, I just assume the person is an idiot. I’ve never seen it used correctly as an insult.

[@norfolkenchants1238]

@@aaronlandry3934 always found American politics very confusing, which isnt very surprising when you do start to understand it as it's almost as if confusion is implemented. Also the way your "politicians" can so easily rile the blood of both their supporters and their "opposition" to a near pitch of lunacy is pretty scary and brings back bad memories of "civil" unrest in my country which both sides came to "peace" in 1998 but you will likely hear of extreme "civil" unrest in the near future unfortunately from Northern Ireland because of Brexit.

[@RosaLichtenstein01]

This audiobook misreads of the most important lines in the _Manifesto:_ "We have seen above, that the first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy." That is the correct version. This is how the audiobook renders it: "We have seen above, that the first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling as to win the battle of democracy." Which makes little sense. It looks like the reader failed to see a few letters (here blocked off by square brackets): "We have seen above, that the first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling [cl]as[s] to win the battle of democracy." I have no idea if there are any other reading errors. If anyone spots any, let me know.
