The Relevance of the Communist Manifesto by Slavoj Žižek Summary
Overview of The Relevance of the Communist Manifesto
Slavoj Zizek reexamines Marx for our era, arguing exploitation hasn't vanished but transformed - with tech giants like Gates profiting from "general intellect" rather than direct labor. Can 19th-century communist theory illuminate our 21st-century capitalist reality?

The Specter That Still Haunts Us
When tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg warn about capitalism's impending transformation, they unknowingly channel the ghost of Marx's Communist Manifesto. Written in 1848, this revolutionary text remains the second most assigned university reading worldwide after Plato's Republic. Why does this radical pamphlet continue to captivate minds across political spectrums? Perhaps because it captures what Marshall Berman called "the vertigo of constant change" that defines modern existence. In Slavoj Zizek's analysis, the Manifesto's relevance lies not in its specific predictions but in its diagnosis of capitalism's revolutionary nature - a system that constantly transforms itself while generating its own contradictions. As we navigate a world where corporations adopt progressive aesthetics while maintaining exploitative practices, where revolutionary ideas become marketing opportunities, and where unprecedented wealth coexists with growing precarity, Marx's ghost refuses exorcism. The supreme irony? Today's dominant ideology appears as its opposite: cynical resignation masquerading as realism. Tech billionaires can propose colonizing Mars, but suggesting housing for all is dismissed as dangerous utopianism.
