    Well, either you really know more than Karl Marx, or you only believe what you like to believe. Either way, EOD for me.

      In Marxism, Marx is considered a necessity of the systems flaws… Not some super special genius. I believe the idea is that if Marx hadn’t come along, someone else would have expressed the same ideas as they’re a product of history… Rather than of exceptional knowledge or “great man” theory.

      I imagine most people alive today “know more” than Marx did in the 1800s.

          Okay, I’ll say it outright. Your average person today knows more than anyone in the 1800s. Marx included.

          Cars, planes, TV, electricity, Computers, the Internet… All facilitated a massive increase in knowledge transmission.

          What’s more I think you’re kind of an idiot for believing otherwise.
