The Communist Manifesto didn't come out until 1848, so it's impossible for Feuilly to have read it in canon; however, Les Mis wasn't published until 1862, and I refuse to believe that Feuilly's character was not at least informed by some of the ideas.

#I also still have a theory that Feuilly's name was inspired by the Feuillants #who during the earlier half of FRev styles themselves basically as bourgeois allies to the proletariat in getting their voices heard #their club was literally the society of the friends of the constitution #anyway tl;dr if your modern AU Feuilly has never read the Communist Manifesti I Do Not Want Him #les mis #les amis #feuilly #shitposting @ me #man I keep trying to read Wretched of the Earth #and it's Fucking Annoying because EVERY SINGLE TIME I try I find more prior reading I feel like I need to do before I'll understand #New Jim Crow feels like this too but less so #anyway reading Marx & Engel to understand Fanon to understand Tuck & Yang et cetera
