Im reading the Manifesto in 2018, and even in the context of the failed communist experiments around the world in the last century, the ideas of Marx and Engels appear aggressively radical, even for our days. One can only imagine the shocking paradigm-changing tone of the Manifesto in the early days. Although today they seem just easily laughable and nave, the genius of Marx, transcends through a formidable understanding of the history of economic sociology. He failed to see, though, that humans are evolved to be voracious and such nature is the key element of progress an at the same time, the main obstacle for the deployment of his pro-proletarian call.
