Communism is like religion; wonderful in theory and disastrous in practice. This may be because both are conducted by humans rather than angels.
This little book aims to introduce the reader to the whole idea of communism, its origins and its development and its effects. Drawing on quotations from the great thinkers, from Plato to Marx, the book tells you everything you need to know in a witty and entertaining manner.
Communism was one of the dominant ideologies of the twentieth century but nows seems to have evaporated, this Pocket Hedgehog book will explain how all this happened.
"Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff" - Frank Zappa sets the tone.
