Uncle Karl, in the _Manifesto_, thought the traditional institutions were already gone or giving way well before Hitler or Stalin were born. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and all that; but man, instead of being compelled to face with sober senses his real condition of life and his relations with his kind, put on a colored shirt and began beating the other man, and vice versa.
