A political classic
Engels would be displeased
they were wrong but you have to know why
Why doesn't the war of the sexes ever end? In this book we learn that things weren't always this way. In fact, oppression and exploitation are recent inventions, if we count that human history dates back EIGHTY thousand years since the rise of homo sapiens sapiens. At one point most cultures suddenly became sedentary and agriculturalist - and private property in the land emerged. Private property of land resulted in an overthrow of the matriarchal family by its male members and in the establishment of a separate group of men who violently protect unequal relationships (the state as we know it today). All happened together in a revolution that occurred in the course of just a few generations some SIX thousand years ago. Nonetheless, the moral of this story is one of hope. If we were capable of remaking ourselves once, and based on that have advanced dramatically in a limited sense of creating material culture, then humankind can remake itself again and found a culture that enriches all aspects of everyone's lives. But this time the redesign will have to be conscious and conscientious, the beginning of a humane human history in which all participate on an equal basis. Such is the future that socialism and communism promise for us. As a companion to this volume, be sure to read Women's Evolution, by Reed. Written a century later, it shows that anthropology's evidence overwhelmingly coincides with the theory Engels put forward in this book.

Only the Names are Changed
Scathing Expose of Dickensian England
The most powerful indictment of 19th century capitalism in existence
Engels' Expose' on 'How the Other-Half Lived' .
Awesome The work is detailed, beautifully observed and elegantly written.Despite the depressing nature of the subject matter, the tone is always possible about a better world beyond the evils of capitalism. Unfortunately 150 years after this masterpiece was written things dont seen to have gotten better under capitalism.Rather, the old evils of poverty, infectious diseases, starvation have been replaced by the modern evils of capitalism: obesity, alienation, mass materialism, depression, plunging fertility and marriage rates and so on... ...

what the "Venus Project" and others fail to confront
Interesting
A great weapon for fighting for change
Quick, easy, lightweight intro to Socialism While Engels provides an overview of the "superiority" of socialism over capitalism, his arguments helped me to understand the motivation for socialism, rather than providing a rigorous defense. As a libertarian, I don't agree with Engels that the capitalist exploits the wage laborer -- I think the stronger argument can be made that the capitalist enables the wage laborer -- but Engels does present his position clearly. If you are looking for a good, short introduction to socialism, this is the book for you. ... Read more |
