Daddalie asks why people should read the communist manifesto. He says it's an astounding piece of work and worth reading even if you're not just a crazy college kid. Daddalie: I wouldn't underestimate the extent to which one of the motivations for reading the book, and maybe even my book is, is a kind of epochal irritation with how stupid and needlessly stupid critics are.
Featuring China Miéville on The Communist Manifesto. Miéville is the author of A Spectre, Haunting: On the Communist Manifesto.
