8. "It's a fair cop."

2. Why is Karl Marx number 1?

He was broke in London, when he did much of his most profound writing.
He was persona-non-grata from the "united states" of his time,
industrial europe... because his ideas threatened. He supported
Lincoln's cause in the civil war, to overturn slavery and as a nascient
workers rebellion.

So what was it about a poor man in london that today threatens the
conservative filth?... 2 books out of the top 10 (1-communist manifesto,
and 6. Das Kapital).

He had nothing to lose. He put all his politics where his mouth was
and made the case for a different world. His is the power of the
modern blogger... just he was better educated. So, by his example, to
be the most feared writer in the world in 150 years time, write like
you got nothing to lose, and make the case for a different world.

4. 'Cause we all hate commies!! Didn't you get the memo?

[sweetheart]

5. apparently not

The communist manifesto is a beautiful book, and so is
the universal declaration of human rights.... both of them
are HATED by the right wing, who view the law of the swamp
and human depravity as the governing standard for human
society... its disappointing, that we've allowed trashers
to elevate through election fraud.

6. It's a sign that those ideas are still true competition.

Many, many, people are appalled by what modern Capitalism has become and is becoming.

Marx, like him or not, dismantelled the psychology of the exploitive system that we live in, yes the early phases, but his analysis holds true.

Certain aspects may be a tad off but on the whole he was right...And they're rightly afraid.

7. silent spring?! good god!

killing off little birdies is good, i s'pose? ddt does not affect the water? oh my. what a depressing viewpoint (and website). i think everyone on the planet should read every one of those books.

9. Ralph Nader's Book

"Unsafe at Any Speed" was mentioned on the list.

Oh yeah - how horrible. He exposed the fact that the Corvair was terribly dangerous for everyone on the road.
