Answer 14

The Communist Manifesto (Das Kommunistische Manifest), originally titled Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei), is a short 1848 publication written by the political theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It has since been recognized as one of the world's most influential political manuscripts.[1] Commissioned by the Communist League, it laid out the League's purposes and program. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and present) and the problems of capitalism, rather than a prediction of communism's potential future forms.[2] The book contains Marx and Engels' theories about the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism, and then eventually communism. so D.

Answer 22

Marx and Engel were theorists. They didn't recommend a course of action. They made some predictions about what would happen. They thought that capitalism would eventually lead to a class struggle and revolution. Marx thought is was most likely to happen in England.
When the revolution happened. The workers would take control of the means of production.
So we're not talking about a government movement to redistribute wealth by taxation. taxation is a function of stable government. A revolution doesn't wait around for taxes and government programs.

So even though the idea of business owners being forced to provide for worker pensions sounds like Marx. The taxes thing is the give-away that it does not belong with the rest of the list.
