    Marx had a host of serious health issues including pain in his liver, breathing problems, boils, insomnia, Verneuil's disease, and he'd bleed from his eyeballs. He was basically bedridden for close to 6 months before he died. He deeply loved his family, his friend Engels, and beer, so it wasn't all bad, but he probably died very unsatisfied he couldn't continue working and also in horrifying pain.

      Wow damn thats fucked up I've never heard of all that before. Makes it kind of messed up when right-wingers make fun of mr. Max for not having a job or whatever.

      Edit: I mean you're basically disabled at that point imho.

        Despite his constant poor health he did have a job as a journalist. He worked as the European correspondent for the New-York Daily Tribune. His work on the Crimean War is pretty good if you wanna check it out sometime.
