13:04Now PlayingChuck Todd hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to travel back to February 21st, 1848, when Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published The Communist Manifesto—a document that would reshape global politics for centuries. He explores the collision between collapsing monarchies and rising economic forces, Marx’s warning that unchecked capitalism could destabilize society, and how his ideas were later used—and often distorted—by dictators and political movements around the world.
Chuck examines why communism took hold in less-industrialized nations, how both sides of American politics still misuse Marx today, and why Marx may have been better at diagnosing problems than prescribing solutions. The conversation closes with a modern parallel: how failing to regulate transformative technologies like AI could fuel the same kind of political and social radicalization Marx once predicted.
