you know like, the right often try to make a gotcha out of things like “the iPhone”, and while on one hand you could try to argue that was developed through state research (which is true), i think Marx at the time of The manifesto at least would have thought that to be missing the point, as (a) the state is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie anyway, and (b) the real point is that the bourgeoisie have utterly proved themselves incapable of properly managing the forces of production that they have developed

like sure contemporary capitalism produced an iphone but it also produced empty houses alongside the homeless. it innovated a new kind of vaccine while proving utterly incapable of distributing it effectively. et cetera
