I dunno - I gave up on Mein Kampf only after 150-200 pages, completed
the Communist Manifesto and never attempted Das Kapital as it was too

That's in the collection known as /The Great Books of the Western

Well, read part 1 at least. Apparently the rest didn't make the cut.

It had it's interesting points. It was very focused on what was going

40 years ago I mentioned in passing that I regularly took a 2 block
detour in my walk home from work to visit the Communist party
bookstore and she panicked though I only went for the chess books many
of which were extremely high quality and relatively low cost.
