Article discreditng the thesis that Mao "killed millions of people" in The Great Leap

[Jester]

Yea, pretty much.

So, when Marx (and Engels) writes, in the preface to the 1882 (Russian) edition of the Communist Manifesto, "The Communist Manifesto had, as its object, the proclamation of the inevitable impending dissolution of modern bourgeois property." ... what do they mean by "inevitable" (or for that matter, "impending")?

It seems clear to me that Marx and Engels intended the first meaning, though perhaps the second as well. The above elaboration about the whole purpose of the Communist Manifesto seems to make that clear. (I assume here that the inevitable impending dissolution of modern bourgeois property refers to revolution by the proletariat, establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and so on.)

Do you believe otherwise?
