I appreciate the sentiment, but not every country is as viewpoint-averse as the US. I read the Communist Manifesto as an assignment in high school. We shouldn't normalize the US's particular approach to propaganda.

To be fair, Marx is traditionally taught in a manner that distorts or coopts his messaging, blunting the practical and replacing with an anti-Marxist idealism. Marx is taught in the US in this manner as well. Simply assigning reading doesn't make one a Communist, especially if accompanied by bourgeois messaging. This applies doubly to the Manifesto, which is more of a pamphlet meant to energize the workers than an actual explanation of Marxist theory (which can admittedly be far more dry, even if I personally like reading and studying it).
