The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels
Analysis
What do you think the text is arguing?
The text is trying to promote revolutions to further the communists' goals in a deceptive and radical approach. Carl Marx and Engel develop the document disguised as a theory. The paper details contain phrases inspiring the masses to take action and reorder their governments. Notably, they present the government and the rich as the enemy of the working class. They also argue that wealth and power should be redistributed to destroy classes, even though they present it as a theory. Moreover, they foresee a future in which the structures that maintain power and class will be destroyed. The document claims that disorder is inevitable as the poor and low-class that take power have no interest, discernment, or intention to restore order. A close consideration of the document reveals flaws in its positions. Societies that have had revolutions have returned to some forms of organization and power structure. Countries like Russia, France, and the USA are some of those re-ordered by revolution and presently ruled by presidents, governments, and systems that favor capitalism in one way or another. Therefore, Marx and his colleagues are deceptive, radicals, and shortsighted in their document manipulating people to take up revolution, disregarding its consequences, as such actions end in a return to another form of order and structure.
Evidence
Marx makes arguments that fuel the masses to take up action against their governments through a revolution. Marx et al. argue that “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles," implying that societies have always struggled (14). The statement overlooks periods of peace where societies have co-existed and benefitted, regardless of their differences. Moreover, he declares that society is in constant conflict. He states in the communists' manifesto calling like-minded people to "openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, aims, tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Specter of Communism with a Manifesto of the party itself” (14). The call sought to make communism official and its work public. The intent is, therefore, likely to inspire people sharing his views to begin revolutions.
Notably, Marx does not leave the natural course to result in the cascade of events resulting in wealth and power redistribution; instead, he makes himself its voice by championing people to join in the struggle. This fact is observed when he states, "Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution” (34). The statement is incitement and a threat to existing governments. Finally, Marx claims that "The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win” (34). The statement is an inspiration and a motivation to lead the proletarians to overlook the cost of lives, destabilized economy, and other war effects. Moreover, societies are likely to become disorderly and unproductive without systems of government. Therefore, Marx’s argument for a radicalized society only considered the superficial effects of its outcomes. Details on what could happe...
