    I was browsing the Marxists.org archive of his writings and came across a damning essay. It's entitled "Ich Bin Pickle Karl, vol. 1". He tries to do a materialist analysis of being a pickle and insists that it's the most profound shit he's ever written in every chapter.

    On the Jewish Question is literally a tract AGAINST antisemitism

      Stay away, it's not worth it. Save yourself. There's a reason the heroes who walk the internet cursed lands put those censors there. Is to protect us.

      You can look it up via text search, but the "liberal" is an actual child so maybe leave them them alone.

      Edit: No no no, the liberal is a troll.

    Libs: So what if the Founding Fathers were slave-owning, genocidal, hypocritical fucks? You need to take things with historical context.

    Also Libs: Karl Guevara Stalin was an antisemite and so is anyone who looks up to him!

      The joke is, that fucking essay wasn't antisemitic at all.

      Now the g*mer word incidents, that's different.

        Eh, Marx was using it to mock Lasalle, who was definitely a fan of racial theories (just social fash things). Still gross but far from what it has been perceived as.

        It's important to note that while Marx and Engels would hold retrograde views in regards to Africans/Asians today, they were progressive in that they believed they could be "elevated" (yuck) to the level of Europeans and join the revolution all the same. This is highlighted when Marx one time differentiated "civilized" African-Americans from their continental counterparts. It's obviously not good now but still.

    At what point in time will Karl just commonly be known as that one Marx brother who, unlike Groucho, got too into politics after entertaining.
