Neoliberals claim that the Manifesto of the Communist Party is utopian. In fact, Marks and Engels did not use the term “capitalism” or refer to the communistic rule of division based on one’s needs. Their programme was prepared on the basis of experience gained after the Revolution which took place in France in 1789. According to them, the main idea of communism is the abolition of the contradictions of the bourgeois society. Nationalisation is the first formal step taken to achieve this goal. It is necessary to socialize the means of production. However, during “real socialism” people were not aware of it. Human needs are historical and cultural needs. Their function is to make reproduction of the relations of production easier. Pervasive advertising proves it.
