We all know the country #idiot – the clown, from colonus, the colonial. From Shakespeare to the #CommunistManifesto, where Marx and Engels mention rural idiocy, we know what to expect: the world narrows to the village, and all reference to history, literature and science is lost, or as if these things were never there. The undrinkable beer, the wifebeating, the schedule that starts at 4 in the morning, the chains of superstition.

I went to that show at Presbyterian church Saturday night, and this was propped on my car windshield afterwards.

@CarolynStirling My challenge with The Communist Manifesto, even after reading this book, is that it ignites the class consciousness of the proletariat, advocates uprising against the bourgeoisie to establish a Communist Society (from each…) but the sticky details of governing, legal principles, international relations or state sovereignty are non-existent. This has been where those governments who’ve declared themselves as Communist have taken advantage of the proletariat. #CommunistManifesto

I’m reading China Miéville’s “A Spectre, Haunting” and decided to ask ChatGPT what it thought.

Tomorrow, February 1, marks the 175th anniversary of the Communist Manifesto. The video above is here only as a supplement what’s below, as DL’s Paul Buhle talks to China Mieville about his new book about the Manifesto. (Ed.)
A Spectre, Haunting: On The Communist Manifesto - By China Miéville, @haymarketbooks #Books, 2022

Currently reading. #ChinaMieville #CommunistManifesto #KarlMarx #Marxism #ASpectreHaunting

Famous author, novelist China Mieville thinks the Communist Manifesto still is useful! He said so in a convo with @WITHpod

This post is to remind me to listen:

It’s been 174 years since #KarlMarx and Friedrich Engels wrote “The Communist Manifesto.” How is it still relevant today and what makes it such a vital guide to understanding present-day struggles? That’s the subject of China Mieville’s latest work, “A Spectre, Haunting: On the #CommunistManifesto.”
His most recent book offers an analysis of what arguably remains the modern world’s most influential political document.
