As I read the Communist Manifesto, some 40 years after I did so originally, I find it strange as upon my second reading it appears to be something more.
Every analysis since its inception seems to be rooted in the same arguments or observations, dialectical materialism, and the class struggle between proletariat and bourgeoisie.
Yet, almost conveniently, many people either choose to leave out, or dismiss outright some of the odd things in it, namely free love.
Doesn’t anyone find such a concept strange in a manifesto that professes to be the blueprint for the proletariat uprising?
Many have noted the almost curious oddity of Marxist philosophies entering into governments with a march toward globalism.
Marx himself alludes to if not out right says globalism will be an inevitably from an economic standpoint.
But can we really believe that Marx was rooting for the little guy?
Given the current events at the time of this writing, it’s March 2022, I can only wonder if maybe we’ve misunderstood what the Communist Manifesto is and what it really stands for.
We have to remember Marx was smart and extremely well read, so is it above a question to wonder if maybe there is something else going on when we read a 40 page pamphlet that has become the genesis of death and destruction to the tune of millions by governments who have built their countries on those very words?
When has anything like that ever happened before or since?
Marx doesn’t seem to understand, that people have wants and needs which seems to be curiously absent.
I would suggest that it isn’t important because he doesn’t care about the people he calls the proletariat.
I don’t believe he is a disassociated third party making observations either, and this is the difference.
I believe Marx wove into the Manifesto a GLOBALIST WORLDVIEW while using his class struggle hypothesis as its carrier.
Of course, I have no proof as to his loyalties or motivations in this regard, but if you bear with me as we analyze this document, I think I can make a compelling case.
To me, it’s the only way I can reconcile what I see happening before my very eyes.
