Was Marx taking a subtle jab at the bible at the end of the Manifesto?

>The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Working Men of All Countries, Unite!

The Communist Manifesto Ch 4

>For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

The Gospel of Matthew 16:26

Is Marx saying that since souls don't exist, it is better to gain the world and lose one's chains?

it may or may not have been a deliberate reference. Hard to tell.

It does, on the virtue of being metaphysical, but definitely it does not contradict it as egregiously as Western Platonic idealism does, which likely contributed to its success in China.
