The communist manifesto was written for a different historical moment but so much of it is still spot on.

I mean come on, it opens basically like “Everyone in the current status quo has already painted communism as their biggest most powerful enemy, may as well unite and make it become that.”

Feels pretty topical given that multiple countries are thinking about naming antifa, which isn’t an organization, a terrorist group.

It's true but weak at the same time:

• Have you read bible/quran and the other books in christianity/islam? No? Then you can't criticize it!
• Have you read at least some books about astrology?
• Have you read books about flat Earth?
• Have you read Mein Kampf?
• ... and so on

It's true that if you want to have a deep down discussion about Marxism, you need to read the book, there's no way around it. But at the same time it's unrealistic to expect that most people will read at least some books for every ideology to form an opinion

And to understand why liberals are like that you read Gramsci and then ignore them.

Reading Marx really is like the bird with a cracker meme

This is a scene taken from Brian talking to Rush Limbaugh…

I've read so many books in the past few years and I still feel like I don't know anything.

But liberals can take a political compass quiz once in highschool think they're fucking experts.

Groucho and Harpo Marx were the best. They have writen a book?
