    The "Spectre of Communism" line was illustrative, particularly in the context of the subsequent passages which intend to give Communism corporeal form through the Manifesto.

    The "Economics is a religion" line is mystifying. It occludes a method by which we understand human behavior and besmerches an entire field rather than the cartel of bad actors currently running the show. There's a huge gulf between "Milton Friedman is the high priest of a phoney profession" and "Milton Friedman is lying to you about where pencils come from".
