What if the Communist Manifesto had gone differently?

Marx and Engels give industrial discontent a theory of history and a call to organise.

If it had gone differently: Industrial grievance never gets its scripture; 20th-century politics loses one of its two organising ideologies.

1. 1848The Revolutions of 1848, The demands for constitutions and nations are never even rehearsed; the old monarchies feel no pressure to bend.
2. 1917The Russian Revolution, The Russian monarchy reforms or muddles through; the century-long contest between communism and capitalism never begins.
