Theory that's translated from their originals to simple to understand English so that I don't have to stare at a paragraph for 20 minutes and do an hour of research to figure out what it means

      I think it's important to keep in mind that not only has the audience for the manifesto changed since it was written in the 19th century, but so has language. It was written in a certain style that doesn't click with people who read it today, 170 years later.

      It's not impossible to read or understand, but if Marx and Engels had written it in 2020 for a modern audience, it would read differently.
