On a skim of the article I didn't see mentioned: he once briefly kidnapped the young son of a slave owner to prove a point about stealing people from their parents. Also he was a pretty decent early feminist. Also he refused to ride horses because they were treated cruelly. And he also didn't eat meat! Dude would've fit in pretty well around here probably.

They also had a pretty high hit rate of being the most exploitative and mean factory owners in England which Marx is quite delighted to point out the hypocrisy of. Remember your religion and your professed values don’t make you a good or bad person, your actions do.
