Mine is in tatters because I’ve actually had to struggle for it. You have no idea what it’s like to not be able to openly carry communist literature out the front door in the morning. The only reason I managed to keep my hands on my copy, under threat of armed guards tackling me to the ground and wrestling it from my hands, was that I was dressed as a priest and had replaced the cover with that of a Bible. I may never know why the security was so aggressive in that Barnes and Noble.
I just find it funny people are out here buying a brand new copy lol. There are millions of them at the library. And if not, you can get it for like a few dollars on eBay in good quality. There’s really no reason to buy some 2023 edition off anazon, with the only updated thing is a preface written by a literally who academic
I’ve looked through the library systems here and this conservative shithole I live in has been very effective at preventing any gommunism from being in libraries or in any way available. The only thing by Marx I saw before finding Marxists.org was the manifesto.
I bought a sixty year old copy at a used bookstore in Portland on a work trip.
