Who gives a shit. Marx is dead. He doesn’t have any opinions on what’s happening today. Maybe we should stand up for our own opinions instead of wildly speculating that a dead man would agree with us?

Relying too strongly upon the ideals of dead people is how we got stupid religions that try to tell people what to do.

So you're telling me MLK Jr wouldn't be a Trump supporter?

I believe this to be the point of cette mémé

Ugh, Marx is famous for stating that he wouldn't want to belong to any club that would accept him as one of its members so clearly he wouldn't want to belong to any party.

Pretty sure that's Groucho, not Karl.

[-] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 7 points 2 months ago

That seems unlikely, I don't think Marx was historically known for being grouchy.

I should’ve known better, it was Richard.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Close enough.

His manifesto has more holes than a colander. Why we should care about the opinion of long dead people about a society that long ceased to exist? Capitalism will not go anywhere in the near future we have to make sure it's well regulated and not oppressive of the poor. That's a tough task already to have at hand.
