whatever anyone might think of Marx - I think there are few who would deny that he was one of the most influential people in the history of the world
no, I'm not a Marxist - but I've read "The Communist Manifesto" more than once - and I'm tremendously impressed by the power of his writing
I've read several other works of political philosophy - and though I would agree with their points of view much more than I do with Marx's - the words don't jump out of the page and demand that you pay attention as Marx's words do
it's no surprise that so many leaders became Dictators and harmed their own countries by trying in some way to put his ideas into practice
