    Exactly. Knee jerk reacting to historical figures who lived complicated lives is dumb and people should stop doing it.

      It's not really kneejerk to hate his entire political philosophy and his bourgeois lifestyle for most of it.

        It is kneejerk to hate Politics and the English Language or Homage to Catalonia, or some of his other writing that you didn't read in highschool.

        If you hate everyone who spent part of their life living a "bourgeois lifestyle" then I have some bad news for you about Marx and Engels.
