socialist infrastructure. The book is also printed in a bland and boring way to
help illustrate that this a book written and made for professionals who are scholars,
researchers, and political figures, since the book contains mostly political
documents written by and for someone with a high level of education who can
understand these political terms and issues, and this book also shows insight
of what happened at these congressional hearings and what they discussed. Along

economy from the uses of factories or agriculture, to socialistic benefits to
the people from public schooling to the distribution of food. Furthermore the

America, and how The Soviet Union are victims. The pictures that were also

acted and what it looked like, since at the time The Soviet Union and America weren’t
on good terms. Even though this book is meant for the political, economic, and
social study of communism in The Soviet Union it does provided an interesting
read to those who can understand the high levels of political writing and
content.

I would definitely read that book, that for sure. As someone who had faced the dictated government of the Communist of Vietnam, I hope to get some more informations about how our country had fallen into the hand of this corrupted ideal, and how it all began. I find it funny that you didn't mention Vietnam in this blog.

ReplyDeleteI think that it is interesting that you chose the Communist Manifesto. It would be an interesting read, and the book itself looks interesting. I also like how you opened up about the book, as if you were doing a book review.
