My hat is off to Marx.

[parodyluvr75]

I don't subscribe to his politics or his views for the most part. But I give him high marks for being a man who stood firmly on his set of values. He still takes shit for being who he was. He didn't take the safe path and follow like the sheep. Marx reminded me of a great grizzled wolf beset by mangy curs intent on pulling him down for not being like the rest of the dogs.

Kudos.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.

He is not taking any shit, the cocksucker is dead.

Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men, the other 999 follow women.

You're the reason I support select retroactive abortions.

Failure to understand the plausible and your take on Marx are two of the reasons that you are a moron.

It's only because I envy your failure to appreciate a play on the name and your ability to compulsively make lame racist threads.

Marx was a half-assed half-prick who got everything half-right. Make what you will of that. Or half of it.

Wrong, you are suggesting that 999 men in a thousand have a clue.

Stoogies fan?

Marx said it, I only wished it was true.

I'm guessing he doesn't get it.

Theodore Dreiser is the only man equal to Marx with a capacity to bore the reader into oblivion. I did one year of my bachelors degree at a German university and had to take a minor subject. I chose Marx and ended up reading Kapital in German. Thirty years later the scars on my brain have yet to heal.

In the seventies it was almost a requirement for Trots, Leninists, Maoists and sundry leftist splinter groups to visit Highgate cemetery and either pay their respects or pee on Marx's grave according to their particular brand of socialism.

Incidentally, Marx at least followed Engels like a sheep, to ensure that he could have access to his wallet.

Karl Marx argued that the natural tendencies of capitalism are to build wealth while the average standard of living declines, and to go through increasingly destructive economic declines. The economic policies of John Maynard Keynes counteracted these tendencies. Now that those policies are being scaled back the tendencies are again becoming apparent.

She obviously doesn't get the play on my user name...

Am I really the only one, other than the OP, who sees the humor?
