    Lulz, I read it and Capital 1 + 2 and a bunch of the other letters/notes. Just was quite a while ago I touched the “Manifesto”

    I stand corrected though.

    Don’t recall his writing in such a pop-psych way , but maybe it’s just the meme format or the fact only the Communist Manifesto had that writing style

      The Manifesto was indeed written in a deliberately sensational and popular style compared to his other works. It was meant to convey the ideas to your ordinary and unschooled person.
