The reality, which communism is creating, is precisely the real basis for rendering it impossible that anything should exist independently of individuals, in so far as things are only a product of the preceding intercourse of individuals themselves. Thus the communists in practice treat the conditions created by production and intercourse as inorganic conditions, without, however, imagining that it was the plan or the destiny of previous generations to give them material, and without believing that these conditions were inorganic for the individuals creating them.
Among many other passages that i didn't understand, these were the first that have appeared while i was reading on. Those with red fonts are the ones that i was having difficulty with.

These few lines threw me off as well. I know what the words mean, but I am not sure what they mean to explain here. Inorganic ( I know what this means...) Do they mean to say that intercourse is not a natural thing anymore?
It seems that Marx and Engels want to show that one is not an individual the moment they have intercourse, becuase we are always looking for that. We are dependant and cannot fiend for ourselves, when we are hungry sexual beasts. So... the natural pure thoughts of sex are no longer exsistant. I'm just brain-searching. Who knows?!?
