Marxism was named after Marx, however, his buddy Engels (who by the way supported Marx financially, and owned a factory himself but never shared the wealth with his workers) wrote quite a few works based in part on the Darwinian theory - Dialectics of Nature (1883), Origins of the Family, Private Property and the State (1884)and more. The manifesto itself was just a small part of the voluminous communist crapola that those 2 produced. Next Lenin picked up the slack and we all know the rest. May be you don't but I grew up with this sh!t and had to listen to it until the age of 31. So I'll repeat again - the scientific communism itself states that Darwin's theory was one of the preconditions for the communist theory development. And if you don't like it - tough, go check it yourself.
Oh, I forgot, evos don't deal with facts that are not in line with the dogma.

Your Post reminds me of Aldous Huxley's quote (Ends and Means 1938, pp 270):

"I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively in pure metaphysics; he is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do, or why his friends should not seize political power and govern in the way that they find most advantageous to themselves... For myself, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essential an instrument of liberation, sexual and political."
