The Communist Manifesto

This short book discusses the theory and the shortcomings of its interpretations by some. Marx presents a rather radical solution and it ought to be followed without modifications that dilute the theory. His observations are rather apt arguing that capitalism will eventually ruin everything in the attempt to constantly produce more and more leading to the cultural destitution of everything.

I can agree with his observations arguing that the bourgeoisie are incompetent at ruling but the solution Marx presents is that the proletariat ought to rule themselves without religion. As a Christian myself I cannot agree and his firm stance on the removal of religion is where he lost me. He makes an interesting argument that Christianity and Marxism seem to be compatible but it only benefits the aristocracy; perhaps it is so. The revolution is perhaps not for the Christian who already believe there was a revolution with Jesus.
