Is this Marx? Di he legit add all that whacky punctuation?
Yep. It's pretty common, especially in his footnotes. He's often really sarcastic, and funny. Marx deserves his reputation for being hard to read, but like half of his footnotes make me laugh.
And some of his successors have inherited this trait. (don’t laugh!)
I need to get to Lenin eventually. I just wanna finish Capital first though
Capital is a trek even I haven't made it through. One of these days though...
Listening to State and Rev after Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, it's like listening to someone with a 'modern voice' versus what I imagine people talked like around Civil War times.
