ORIGINALLY RELEASED Sep 27, 2023
In this crossover conversation, Jared from Millennials Are Killing Capitalism joins Breht to dive deep into Friedrich Engels’ Principles of Communism—a crucial draft that laid the groundwork for the Communist Manifesto. Together, they unpack the text’s key insights, from the historical development of class struggle to the revolutionary role of the proletariat.
This episode explores Engels’ clear, accessible articulation of communist principles, examines the dialectical materialist worldview that underpins the document, and connects these foundational ideas to today’s struggles under late capitalism. Along the way, Jared and Breht reflect on the enduring relevance of Engels’ thought, challenge liberal misreadings of Marxism, and offer a grounded, revolutionary take on what it means to fight for communism in the 21st century.
Whether you’re new to socialist theory or looking to revisit its roots, this episode provides both historical clarity and political urgency.
