“Thanks I Hate It” SMYR Book Club: The Communist Manifesto

The Communist Manifesto: The Dangerous Blueprint That Shaped the Left"
Ready to explore the origins of leftist ideology and expose its flaws?
The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels is more than a critique of capitalism—it’s a call for revolution that has fueled the rise of socialism and communism across the globe. But what have these ideas really delivered?
For over a century, Marx’s vision has inspired disastrous policies that have crushed individual freedom, wrecked economies, and led to authoritarian regimes. As conservatives, we know the power of capitalism and liberty—but to defend it, we must understand the ideas threatening it.
