The Communist Manifesto is one of the most influential pieces of political propaganda ever written. It is a summary of the whole Marxist vision of history and is the foundation document of the Marxist movement. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were aged 29 and 27 respectively when The Communist Manifesto was published on the eve of the 1848 revolutions. The authors had been close collaborators since 1844, and the Manifesto is a condensed and incisive account of the world-view they had evolved during their hectic intellectual and political involvement of the previous few years.

This book have been on my TBR for couple of years now and I finally read it. I personally am super interested in politics so this book was sort of a must read for me and many friends of mine have recommended it so here we are to talk about the book.

Some of the ideas in this book are interesting however these ideas were to explaining communist ideology in that historical period which I personally enjoyed a lot. However this ideology as other ideologies looks good only on paper.

This book is worth reading no matter what your believes are and what your opinions are because it gives us a good look into the communist ideology in a historical period when it was pretty fresh. This book is worth a reading because of being able to understand its historical value in a sense. 

This book is somehow deeply entrenched in economics of the mid 19th century ish and full of straw man arguments, which not work for everyone if you are not interested in history or politics. 

It is somehow shameful to call this book an apex of socialist/communist theory. Because it is he height of a programme to get out of it nor the height of a critique of capitalism. 

Of course this book is full of old English because it was written so long ago but in my opinion it gives more to this book and the whole communist ideology.

I Give This Book 3 / 5

With extraordinary access to the West Wing, Michael Wolff reveals what happened behind-the-scenes in the first nine months of the most controversial presidency of our time in Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. Since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, the country―and the world―has witnessed a stormy, outrageous, and absolutely mesmerizing presidential term that reflects the volatility and fierceness of the man elected Commander-in-Chief.

This book gives us amazing details about Trump’s first 9 months presidency, which was far from the best presidency’s in the history in the world. Not because of his politics or his showmanship but because there was pure chaos in the white house these 4 years, people staff all over the place without any purpose, people not doing the work which they were assigned to do and so on. 

This book made me realise that Trump’s presidency was more terrifying than I’ve expected. But it also lets us know what we all expected which of course is the incompetence of the Trump administration.

The writing style in this book was amazing, like someone was telling me this instead of reading a book. Which I give this book points for. But there were times where I felt like the writing style was very heavy especially with all the information which it was giving us about the tragedy of Trump administration and Trump himself as president at times. 

I gotta be honest here and say that this book doesn’t challenge your assumptions. Because it told us everything we pretty much assumed about Trump’s presidency and his staff and all the dramas. 

It was a fun, interesting and super knowledge read. And it gives us many behind the scene information about how Trump’s mind work and how he was like the president who didn’t knew what he was doing for 4 years. 

I gotta also give credit to Sean Spicer who really concluded in a perfect way Trump’s presidency by saying “you can’t make this shit up.” Which is true in the case of the 45th president on the USA.
