Best Communist propaganda site

Why have you not said Das Kapital by Karl Marx?
or for that matter The Communist Manifesto
this link is to the latter of the books, but i must warn that i don't know if it is 100 to the original writings.

Id like to contest Three Sources and Three component parts of Marxism, simply because it doesn't really say much other than the origins of Marx's theories which are French Socialism, English Economics and German Philosophy.
