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

    Wow. Imagination is your super power.

      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.
