Paying respects to Marx then being served a literally gold plated lunch that cost 15% the yearly median wage is not at all hypocritical? But sure, if his constituents don't care then neither do I, and most of them don't care about communism anyway. This whole thing is just tabloid shit to get people angry.

$1300 is chump change for either nation. It's that the act had apparent symbolic meaning, it doesn't matter who paid for it or how the tip was split or who paid for the driver to get them there.

That's the entire argument of this post. Does his action have symbolic meaning. Is his action seen as conspicuous consumption and is in conflict to visiting marx's grave. My argument is that his constitutes that still value their communist roots may be offended by it and they are valid for doing so. If it offends or doesn't offend you or western leftists is irrelevant.
