A prophet in his own land........long read and it won't make any difference anyway.

I was thinking about writing a big thing about Marx, but its been too many years since Ive done any real Marxist study, and while I still remember the jist of the stuff, I cant quote and feel 100% correct. Anyways, the poor guy has been given a bad name by so many people. The communist manifesto wasnt his life's work, most of the stuff in there wasnt even really his, but instead was Frederick Engel's. Marx was just an economic theorist, who ironically was a big supporter of capitalism. Only, like Darwin (Darwin's theories were used as justification for alot of the horrible Eugenics atrocities in WWII, and other hate issues around race), his theories were used, and mis-interpreted by some to do horrible horrible things. Anyways, his ideas on social evolution are more in line with the West, than the so called Communists today.
