Quote

Hi, I think the quote, actually, is not from the Manifesto, but from the English traduction, isn't it? The original German phrase used by Marx is pretty different than "All That Is Solid Melts into Air". Ferbr1 (talk) 14:23, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

“Alles Ständische und Stehende verdampft" is the original German this translates dryly to "Everything solid and permanent evaporates"... it seems the English Lawyer Samuel Moore made this appropriate and poetic translation in 1888 (apparently it resonates with a piece of Shakespeare: https://dyneslines.blogspot.com/2011/05/origins-of-famous-phrase.html Domdoespirito (talk) 21:59, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Large Edit

Hey all, I just made a significant edit thoroughly analyzing part 1 of the book. It feels a bit lengthy and I encourage anybody to go through and do some snipping to make it less lengthy or superfluous. Much love to those of you who made it out here — Preceding unsigned comment added by Domdoespirito (talk • contribs) 21:51, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template message at the top

The template message at the top reads, This article consists almost entirely of a plot summary. It should be expanded to provide more balanced coverage that includes real-world context. Please edit the article to focus on discussing the work rather than merely reiterating the plot."

But this book has no plot. Only fiction has a plot. One might say, though it would be stretch, that a chronological history book has a plot, but this book is not a chronological history. It might be edited to read, "This article consists almost entirely of a summary. It should be expanded to provide more balanced coverage that includes real-world context. Please edit the article to focus on discussing the work rather than merely summarizing it." I haven't edited the template message because I don't know how to edit a template message.
