That could actually backfire: Sooner or later, an idea so catastrophic was bound to emerge. If something like the Communist Manifesto was first published any later in human history than it was, we might have been far too technologically advanced and globally connected to even survive the first communist takeover.
Because the communists already hijacked and destroyed multiple countries in the 20th century, we might now have just enough experience and counter-propaganda to defeat them (and their globalist masters) when it really matters, in the World Civil War. We're still at a massive disadvantage even with the benefit of this knowledge, but imagine how screwed we'd be if we first encountered this subversive enemy deep into the "Internet of things" and deep learning AI era and had no idea what their endgame was.
I'd definitely go back and take out Karl Marx.
