That's nice, but Marx' ideas were formulated before Darwin published.

1848 Communist Manifesto

1859 Origin of Species

1848 Communist Manifesto

1859 Origin of Species]

Old Karl was still scribbling away as late as 1870 when he wrote the second volume of Capital. He kept writing and working (bless his little heart) until his death on 14th March 1883. The Communist Manifesto was not his only influential work. He had plenty of time to incorporate Darwin's ideas, and I read he offered to dedicate Capital Vol. I to Darwin, who declined not wanting to offend his religious relatives.
