The Communist Manifesto: The Computer Virus of the Mind

I can't remember the last (and only) time I read the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels (wasn't married yet). But when I did I was certainly naïve. In fact, not only did it not seem all that interesting then given my interests and activities at the time, but I probably didn't really understand it. Maybe the ongoing education during the struggles of life, raising kids, and expanding one's perspective independently has a way of revealing pragma vs. vanity, a posteriori vs. a priori. I basically grew a bullshit-o-meter.

Having recently read it I have to say I didn't see before how twisted (and obsolete here) the involved ideas are, which with the author's apparent rancor and contempt smells a lot like Democrat Party rhetoric. Somehow the Democrats have been able to take obsolete nineteenth century proletariats vs. bourgeois contexts and forge class wars today, while ignoring the education disparity caused by a broken public education system.

The authors reveal negative biases that skew the relevance, veracity, and value of their ideas. But to the average reader it can seem more like some hidden evil they didn't know existed before that needs extermination. In beholding involved concepts against a backdrop of the plights of the poor and struggling, one could almost see its value. But that lure is a deception, and it seems to penetrate between the defective strings of human cognition like a computer virus for the mind.

Make no mistake, as the parents of the "First Lady of Facebook" know, communism is the persistent scourge of humanity - all thanks to a couple of broke and lazy morons, who, it would seem, was inspired by the devil in writing their infamous Communist Manifesto.
