Why word "Manifesto" used in new RP book?

[LandonCook]

It sounds dangerious, so people will be sure to buy it...

 

[syborius]

"Liberation of the Conservatives" Would have been a much more appropriate title.

Enigmatic enough to arouse attention, self explanatory to those who understand it.

He is a principled man, that loves and cares for this country, and desperately needs to consult some marketing/image people.

I love the title-
I think it is perfectly appropriate and will grab people's attention.

I feel like I am screaming in a vacuum- I know you all know this feeling.

I am going to keep yelling y'all!

Look up the actual definition of manifesto. Just because it has been attached to the word communist doesn't mean it should never be used again. haha

Since communists used to breath air, we should stop breathing air too. 1, 2, 3, stop breathing...... :/

 

[Sweman]

Shouldn't there be a word of substance in the title? For example:

The Revolution: A Freedom Manifesto

 

[Steve618]

Ayn Rand

Ron Paul also has read and admires much of what Ayn Rand has written. She also used the term for her book "The Romantic Manifesto".

most people are brainwashed about the cold war communism.......
manifesto is a word.....
everything communist is NOT "evil"....just because te word was associated with them does not mean the word has new meaning....wow we still have yet to come out of the Mccarthy era ...and here we want others to open their eyes........

 

[rmholla]

Tossing in my two cents... I love the title.

That was my thought also

because that's what it is.....

People just say the weirdest stuff. I know lets call it,

The Revolution;
A public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions.

or

The Revolution:
A document in which we set out the program we propose

I don't know, there must be a shorter way of saying that? Hmmm.

Manifesto? Yeah that's it.

The Revolution:
A Manifesto

 

[Free McKilt]

Damn good title!

If you have problem with "manifesto", probably you will have more problem with "R3volution".

For those of us raised during the Cold War era the word "manifesto" has somewhat of a foreboding tenor. Surely Dr. Paul knows that.

I am trying to figure out why Dr. Paul has to use that word. It seems like he is wanting to discommunicate with some.

Has the book been sent to the printer yet?

Well, I'm a bit of a Iconoclast myself, so I find it quite ridiculous how words always get certain values; like in this case apparently the word 'manifesto' immediately refers to communist revolution.

In Dutch we'd say 'handvest' to manifesto and first thing I would think of is the manifesto of the United Nations. One can always interpret things in ones own way. If he would have called it the 'Credo', perhaps some religious people would say it's blasphemy.

Just my 5 cents from communist Netherlands

I got the same impression. That some people are a bit too brainwashed about this. I don't see communism as evil; it's just a system which doesn't work. And the communist manifesto wasn't written by the devil, but by some folks who weren't very good in understanding human nature.

I sure hope...

he rewrote the Declaration of Independence and Common Sense to bring them up-to-date.

Before you troll hunters don't call someone a troll for asking a question.

Don't you have anything else to do?

He is reclaiming the terms "manifesto" and "revolution" from the neo-commies just as he wants us to reclaim back our country, our economy, our money, our liberty. It is a 'coded message' to them and they know it.

Our constitution and liberty came from the revolution. That's ours and we are taking it back. Trust the good doctor. He knows what he is doing.

 

[CrazyRonPaulSupporter]

I love that the word "Manifesto" is included in the title. It sends out a strong signal of significance. It sends out that this will be read and heard even 300+ years from now. It sends out that the person or group that wrote it have something important to say, even if you like it or not. So no matter how people try to spin that word, it's a net positive.

The book title alone will also draw a lot of non Ron Paul supporters to buy the book, just wait and see.
