On Marx, from the Pillars of Unbelief series, by Peter Kreeft, Boston College.
"The 'Manifesto' was one of the key moments in history. Published in 1848, 'the year of revolutions' throughout Europe, it is, like the Bible, essentially a philosophy of history, past and future. All past history is reduced to class struggle between oppressor and oppressed, master and slave, whether king vs. people, priest vs. parishioner, guild-master vs. apprentice, or even husband vs. wife and parent vs. child."
