The 1844 Manuscripts didn’t just ‘pave the way’ for ‘scientific socialism.’ Humanism wasn’t just a stage Marx ‘passed through’ on his voyage of discovery to ‘scientific economics’ or ‘real revolutionary politics.’ Humanist philosophy is the very foundation of the integral unity of Marxian theory, which cannot be fragmented into ‘economics,’ ‘politics,’ ‘sociology,’ much less identified with the Stalinist monolithic creation, held onto so firmly by Khrushchev and Mao Zedong.
