An indispensable political manifesto that examines social and economic issues from a very left of center and progressive way. Controversial because of the various political regimes that have claimed to be Communist in order to further their own goals, but this book is essential nonetheless. A bible for the oppressed in a world of social inequality and the monopoly of the legal system by the bourgeoisie.
