The Communist Manifesto in Af-Somali

[Apollo]

It has been translated into Af-Somali for the first time in 2020. This is shockingly late considering the Barre regime was based on this ideology.

They read it in Italian or Arabic most likely.

There is a severe lack of world literature being translated in Somali. It looks like this organization Hiil Press is the only one doing it.

It's time to indoctrinate every Somali citizen and go through an industrial revolution

Aan bilaabno jalleyaal

 

[Mumin]

"Communist Party still remains explicitly atheist and religion is heavily regulated"

That organization also translated a good book from Edward Said. Will buy that along with it. Going to contact them on Monday.

We was communists

 

[Galool]

Lol Barre wasn't a serious Communist. Man didn't even bother translating the ideology

Shuuci is a word somalis use to refer to Eastern/Slavic Europeans

 

[Octavian]

We was communists

Sometimes I remember my country attempted communism at one point and I die a little inside.

The Ultimate cringe.

Anyway who translated this extremist document and for what purposes?

That organization (Hiil Press) has no agenda.

It looks like they are merely in the business of translating world literature into Somali.

Karl Marx whether you like him or not was an influential philosopher and social scientist and it is good that his seminal work is now also in the Somali language.
