This Day in History: Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto was published on this day in 1848. As Paul Johnson wrote: "Marx was an academic; or rather, and worse, he was a failed academic." He railed against Capitalists exploiting their workers, but at the same time he had a lifelong hard-working maid that he never paid. He was a parasite all his life, sponging off his Capitalist cohort, Freidrich Engels. He had 7 children, 4 of whom died because of the poverty Marx made them endure. Two of his daughters who made it to later life (Laura and Eleanor) committed suicide. His Mother summed up his pathetic life with the following words: "I wish Karl would start accumulating capital instead of just writing about it."
Marx was an alcoholic who never washed. Boils covered his body, preventing him from being able to sit down.
Marx was also explicitly genocidal -- calling for ‘revolutionary terror’, theft, and murder against the bourgeoisie.
"He idolised Mephistopheles from Faust, insisting that ‘Everything that exists deserves to perish.’ No wonder every experiment with Marxism produces mass murder, privation, starvation, tyranny, and Hell on Earth. ~Connor Tomlinson
Under Marxism, more than one hundred million people have died, either from being murdered or from starvation.
