Controversial reformer Henry George, whose book "Progress and Poverty" (1879) promoted "single-tax" or taxing land to address issues with economic inequality, established him as a leading critic of the sins of contemporary capitalism. The book that is mentioned is his best-known book and has sold millions of copies all over the world.
However, Karl Marx, one of the authors of the Communist Manifesto, criticized Henry George because, in Marx's opinion, George is completely backward from a theoretical standpoint.
Marx claims that Georgists attempt to deceive either themselves or the general public into thinking that if ground rent were changed into a state tax, all the negative aspects and evils of capitalist production would automatically vanish. Everything is just a socialist-dressed attempt to preserve capitalism's dominance and even to re-establish it on a larger scale than it already is.
As a result, despite what some people believed, it does not actually advocate socialism.
