Please note, this blog is my humble attempt to summarize The Communist Manifesto. I abhor when people comment on Maxism without knowing anything about it. I also understand, most of us do not have time and energy to read the book. So, please take the essence of Marxism out of this blog. I am not claiming any originality.
