Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

However, we should not reject Marx, instead, we should view him as a guide whose diagnosis of capitalism's problems helps us to navigate towards a more promising future. Capitalism is going to have to be reformed and Marx’s analyses are going to be part of any solution. The purpose of this scalar project is to examine the manifesto as a genre and then to examine “The Communist Manifesto” and how it relates to societies and political systems today. I will begin with a brief definition and introduction of what a manifesto consists of. Next, I will explain who Karl Marx was and why he wrote his manifesto. Then, I will summarize and analyze his manifesto. Lastly, I will consider how and why "The Communist Manifesto" has influenced and affected capitalism.
