This is actually a good book on Marx, don't let the comic part fool you.

Somebody give me a little primer on the Communist Manifesto because I'm a pleb fuckboi.

I read the first third and I'm a little lost. Don't get me wrong; I love Paradise Lost, I can figure out what the fuck is happening sometimes (yes I know; apples and vag juice, and loving a book =/= understanding but you know what I mean.) I have a basic understanding of Communism/Socialism etc. I'm just not too familiar with idk, the fucking backstory of the movement and the thought process behind the book.

I only ask because I want to respect the knowledge and thought that can be had from the title, and don't want to disrespect it, no matter what opinion or thoughts I come to have of it.
