Some sort of utopian paradox in the vein of John's Galt, where each person is free to realize his own potential? The last quote from Engel seems to suggest that Marx was actually pushing for something much closer to Anarcho-Libertarianism.

Marx was pushing for a utopia somewhat opposite of Galt. Namely, communism.

Voluntary communist utopias are referred to as anarcho-communism.

Anarcho-libertarianism assumes a free market is involved.

Communism assumes all resources are pooled.
