Nah man, the communist manifesto is important as a historical text and some of its points are still relevant, but it's a very outdated writing and doesn't even begin to explain marxism as a methodology. In fact it's not even the best of Marx's writings; his magnum opus is obviously Das Kapital but besides that a better writing for understanding capitalist society and thegoals of communism are The German Ideology and Critic of the Gotha PRogram, respectively.
You did give me an idea though, including the Communist Manifesto to study what parts of it are still relevant and which have been completely discarded by whom.
