In the Communist Manifesto Marx talks about abolishing morality.
Does he mean bourgeoisie morals?
Or morality itself?

well, i myself, have been in conflict with "war and morality" as a topic of thought. Such as, is it justified in killing many (mass X) to save many more (mass Y)? (if mass X is not killed they will continue on and ruin the world for everyone etc etc)
I think yes, but that is because i am justifying it myself, although it may not be morally justified. So i can see here where a school of hypocrisy must be accepted and moral reasoning thrown aside BUT morals are not something absolute and rather man created so they can be re-created to fit the new world. I believe he meant to rid of bourgeoisie morality.

Being ethical over objective morality.
