Think again, and think about it very closely. Who is the biggest supporter of factory farming in the USA? I don’t see the left dismantling it; they subsidize the blazes out of it, rather.
Why would the beginnings of factory farming be in the Communist Manifesto, in black and white? It’s part of the record.
“Who is the biggest supporter of factory farming in the USA?”
The for-profit corporations making billions of dollars off it.

It’s not. There is no mention of “factory farming” in the manifesto, or any description of a process similar to what we know as factory farming. Futhermore, the communists never made any attempt, that I am aware of, to implement anything similar to what we call “factory farming”. You are just confusing the reference to involving industry and farming with the modern concept that we have today. What the commies were proposing, and what they actually tried to implement, was an entirely different animal.
Contrary to factory farming, the commie experiment actually reduced efficiency, so it is quite a far cry from factory farming.
