Summary Of Communism By Karl Marx

This book was split into two sections. The first section was mainly about the experiences and life of Karl Marx showing insight into how he came up with his political and economic ideas. It starts in Karl 's childhood telling how he had a Jewish background but was baptized as Christian at a young age so that he could attend school.

It lets you feel the ideas of countries controlled by communism and lets you form your own opinion on the communism countries through learning about the origins of the ideas through Karl Marx. I feel like the writing would be stronger if there were excerpts of all or most of the papers presented in the writing that Karl Marx had wrote. Those would allow me to get an even better feeling for his writing style and more of an idea of where his ideas were composed from. This piece was very enjoyable in the end though, not dull or unimaginative, but very interesting and moving. I feel like I got to learn a lot about Karl Marx and communism itself so I could get a better understanding of countries across the globe. I would definitely refer this book to any one of my friends. It provides you the information to form an educated opinion about most countries people today in the U.S. say they hate although they know nothing about
