The Communist Manifesto is a very short read, but I mean come on, page 2 is literally about defining changes from feudalism and capitalism.
Libs make an argument that isn’t refuted by a 30 page book challenge IMPOSSIBLE:
Our epoch, the epoch of the bourgeoisie, possesses, however, this distinct feature: it has simplified class antagonisms. Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other - Bourgeoisie and Proletariat.
…
The feudal system of industry, in which industrial production was monopolised by closed guilds, now no longer sufficed for the growing wants of the new markets. The manufacturing system took its place. The
guild-masters were pushed on one side by the manufacturing middle class; division of labour between the different corporate guilds vanished in the face of division of labour in each single workshop.
Meantime the markets kept ever growing, the demand ever rising. Even manufacturer no longer sufficed. Thereupon, steam and machinery revolutionised industrial production. The place of manufacture was taken by the giant, Modern Industry; the place of the industrial middle class by
industrial millionaires, the leaders of the whole industrial armies, the
modern bourgeois.
Don’t even try, an very basic defintion fo what capitalism is debunks this.
“Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their use for the purpose of obtaining profit”, In feudalism the feudal lords just won land not really the tools so peasants are not employed by them they are just landlords sort of. Protocommunism doesn’t even have that caveat. Tradesmen also usally owned their own tools. You don’t need the communist manifesto to debunk this you need basic logic.

Oh for sure, but it just highlights how this person claiming that communist ‘truisms’ need to die hasn’t even read 4 paragraphs of Marxist theory
Dead ideology though!!
It’s all so tiring sometimes…
