160 years ago this book was first published, on Feb 21st 1848.

Some think it's a most dangerous book in human history.

Hey, what about mein Kampf?
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mテカlders)

Men butchered the Christian bible by self-serving interpretation just like men are butchering the Koran today for same.

Marx's work is similar to my golf game. Works in THEORY, but not in PRACTICE (well, it does work in practice, but people are oppressed, and I don't think Marx had that model in mind...)

No.  Stop saying that it works in Theory.  It does not work at all in any fantasy land ever conceived.  It will never work.

Communism wasn't new in 1848. It goes back to the first time two people conspired to beat up one person and take what he had.

The most evil words ever uttered in the history of the world, both real, imaginary and out of his plane, are "Common Good."  Or some iteration of such.
