The ideas that stem from the “Communist Manifesto” have been used as the basis of how the Communists in countries such as the Soviet Union in the past, China and Cuba organized their governments. Even though it is the basis i do not think it has been successfully implemented in any of these countries. Karl Marx’s views that because of social classes there will always be a struggle between them, and that the only way to fix this is Communism, to do away with the social classes, does have some logic to it. Countries have bent the ideas of Communism and the whole thing ends up jsut not working. In the case of the Soviet Union and Cuba , these supposed Communist countries are in fact distorted into dictatorships. I do not think if Karl Marx looked into the future and saw what had become of Communism, he would not have liked it. It has been implement many times in different areas in the world and it has not been successful for the most part. This leads me to believe that it will never work and that it is an outdated way of thinking, or it has been given a real chance.
ngojoseph, seems to have come up with a similar conclusion. He says how Communism is a product of its time. I agree to a point because of the thinking back then that did not take into consideration many factors that could and that did change Marx’s Communism into something unrecognizable.
