Yep! All the people that shy away from the name "communist" or "socialist" purely due to optics end up hurting their legitimacy. They'll get slandered as such anyways, and disconnect themselves from the working class.

More of a fan of The Principles of Communism though if we are talking introductory theory. The Manifesto of the Communist Party is good, but more of an agitprop leaflet than an actual work of theory.
