I read the Communist Manifesto and I didn't understand it.

This all came about when I got into an argument on here with some dumb libtard. He was talking s**t so I called him a Marxist. This A-hole then told me that I live in an echo-chamber, that I didn't know what Marxism was and I should read some Marx to educate myself. I told him to educate his own fat ass and blocked him but I went to read it anyway just to see.

The book was real short but it confused me. It didn't even mention Russia or any politics and is just talking s**t in big words about olden times Europe. It goes on and on about production relations and social conditions or whatever but like WTF has that got to do with the Moscow or the KGB? And what is a bourgeoisie anyway? Were they like a cult or something?

I wanna know this though so I destroy libtardocommies when I debate them. I think calling one of them a class-antagonism could be a real zinger. I know all you fellow Conservatives who call people Marxists understand this BS way better than me so please could you help?

First of all, bourgeoisie is the middle class or "modern capitalists" (at least modern in Marx's time, Industrial Revolution, etc.).
Check out the SparkNotes of the Communist Manifesto if you really are interested about what it actually is. Also, it would be very good for you to research different types of governments and how they work, it's very enlightening, for me at least.
I find the idea of communism a great and ideal way of running a country, but we are human and it is impossible to run such a type of government effectively and peacefully and have everyone be happy. (The leader would have to not be power-hungry--the complete opposite of Stalin, Hitler, etc.)
If you do legit research, you will find that the happiest countries in the world are socialist, and I would love to live in a socialist country for a few years to see how it works personally.
I really hope you do look into this kind of stuff. It would be nice to have more people in this country (assuming that you're American, I apologize if I assumed wrong) who are not brainwashed into thinking any other type of government other then capitalism is the worst thing in the entire world and have their own opinion on different types of governments.
