For the third (and last!) meeting, we will be reading chapters 3 and 4 (titled Socialist and Communist Literature + Position of the Communists in Relation to the Various Existing Opposition Parties) of the "Communist Manifesto" (https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/).
Optionally, we will also be reading and discussing Engels's thoughts on women's oppression and the emergence of classes and the state (from The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State, chapter 2 and 3 https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1884/origin-family/index.htm) and Marx's legacy (from Engel's speech at Marx's funeral (https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1883/death/burial.htm). Reading selections for this group are sourced from "The Communist Manifesto" edited by Phil Gasper (https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2107-the-communist-manifesto).
