This is gayporn

Spikskor: No, its idiot porn. A thin little book with simple answers that appeal to people with little or no understanding for the factors building our society (i.e. morons).

people still read this trash after the horrors of the sovietmurder state.

Nice comments, though you're obviously not trying to change anyone's mind.
If we can't read books that evil governments blame their crimes on, we rule out basically every work of political philosophy -and religion - ever developed by humans. Though who cares about arguments, let's just blow off steam trolling!

HenKaiPan (2008-02-18)

p00p3don is right, this is librivox's version, with a pdf of the text as well

I´ve read it a while ago.Its a really boring book with a lot of repeated frases over and over... and so naive and wrong.
If there is no profit for inovative people yuo get no inovativ people and then you get no profit, even if it is for comon good...
I belive in a free market where people can buy a thing or a job from the best or the cheapest or the closest or the fastest or what ever. If the state is the only suplier you have monopoly and all monopoly is BAD...

... still seems to get some folks mighty steamed-up by the looks of it ...
... nice one HKP! ...

Hey sorry to call you a liar, vaghalsen but you've clearly never read it. It is written in an exciting style with lots of colourful language, and no repetitive phrasing as you report. Also, there's very little about the state being the only producer. It can be interpreted in many ways, like anything written by a smart person. Why not read it again and see if it's like you remember?
My advice is not cont confuse Marx with Marxists, just like you wouldn't confuse Christ with Christians. There's what the person wrote, and then there's also what his supposed followers do. One particular interpretation is Soviet Russia, but there are others.
Marx is like Plato, like him or not, every smart person you'll ever read has read him and has parts they agree with and don't agree with. It's not good guys and bad guys.

I love how people come on this and trash this book because of the USSR, China, and other dictatorships. Those countries were/are about as communal as Nixon was.

I would think Marx would be popular these days. While this is the most known, this is far from the only thing he wrote.
He didn't write so much about "ZOMG Commies rule" as about stratification in societies between the classes. Something easy to see in America, particularly with the socialist support of large corporations.
