Planking While Reading the Communist Manifesto
Planking until failure while reading the Communist Manifesto
A tattooed person with silver hair attempts to hold a plank while reading the Communist Manifesto from a tablet. Over the clip, their posture gradually collapses until they fall forward and look exhausted, turning an overly intellectual reading challenge into physical comedy. The audio is a deadpan spoken recitation of Marx and Engels’ text, making the contrast with the failed workout especially absurd.
Manifesto of the Communist Party by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels A specter is haunting Europe, the specter of communism. All the powers of all Europe had entered into a holy alliance to exercise the specter, Pope and Tsar, Meduginic and Guizot, French radicals and German police spies. While the party is in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power, Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding approach of communism against the more advanced opposition parties as well as against its reactionary adversaries? Two things result from this fact. One, communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power. Two, it is high time that communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freemen and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild master and journeymen, and a word oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended either in a revolutionary constitution, a society at large, or in the common ruin of the ending classes. In the earlier epochs of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various orders, a manifold gradation of social rank. In ancient Rome we have patricians, knights, plebeian slaves in the Middle Ages, feudal lords, vassals, guild masters, journeymen, apprentices, serfs, and almost all of classes again, supporting it, traditions, the modern bourgeois society sprouted from the ruins of feudal society, has gone away with the class and deconditions, has been established new classes, new conditions, revolution.
