The Manifesto Is a Remarkably Beautiful Piece of Writing

I think simply as a matter of kind of literature at its best the manifesto is a remarkably beautiful piece of writing. It's also obviously an intervention in certain political debates and it's written for a small leftist group. Those bits sit alongside some much clunkier or you know more kind of chroma more historically specific pieces that don't resonate nearly so beautifully with us today but even then I think it is really vital to relate to these moments of poetry, not as if you like mere filigrees into the argument but as an absolutely constitutive part of the nature of this text.
