Key Notes
Jiang says the manifesto defines the real conflict as bourgeoisie versus proletariat and asks listeners to accept that a vanguard party will voluntarily dissolve after abolishing class.
He argues that the manifesto's international-conspiracy posture is politically strange because it turns local demands for fairness into evidence of a secret global plot.
Jiang reads the Communist Manifesto's specter as Marx's replacement Geist: communism is imagined as the inevitable world spirit that old authorities try to exorcise.
