Book cover for The Communist Manifesto

I’m not sure about Marx and Engels’s solutions, but the first section of the Manifesto–diagnosing the problems of capitalism–feel like they could have been written today. Dependency theory and Accelerationism almost seem to be built into the Communist Manifesto: capitalism will spread throughout the world, tying even the least developed regions to its core; capitalism will create the weapons that lead to its collapse; and all of that.

It’s worth revisiting from time to time. It’s short enough, so it doesn’t take much effort, either.
