one of the worst terrorists in history ...

The communists are not romantic fighters for the common good, but big tricksters who commit crimes, even if the global left tries to deny it, or justify it

One of the main flaws of communism is that, according to communist theory, is that it relies on totalitarian power concentrated to the party elite to implement. That has never lead to anything good.

That is just what happens in my country. And it is very unfortunate because it was a prosperous country and these phony criminals and all they do is steal everything they can, a month ago there were statements from the president and his entourages that they were very happy because they found the 4th largest deposit of GOLD in the world.
You can imagine now they will have more money to pay the shock groups that are responsible for killing or disappearing those who are against them.

One of the finest Sociologist world has ever produced, Sir Karl Marx. Marx gave awareness to the people of the world,how capitalism sucking the blood of yours by controlling every single option. Hats off to the services he provided. Massive Respect for this legend <3

Happy Birthday Sir Marx <3 <3

It is a good reference to read and base my articles too... well, movies based on their books and ideals. Do you know some?...

You mean films based on Marxist ideas? I'm sure there are thousands of them depending on how you look at it.

Yes, I mean some special one ... I usually do 3 or more references. I ask you because you are my oracle and guru haha

Interesting fact. I wander if the Marx family got paid for the last 2 publications. I am sure they did.

I hope he is burning in a very capitalist hell or whatever the communists believe or don't believe.

Marx should burn in a socialist hell. He knew all about capitalist hell. But socialist hell was something of his own making and something he did not come to know in his own lifetime.

Oh you are right, look at him posing as if he were Napoleon.

I think that may have been something you were supposed to do in photographs those days.

I don't know whether Marx was a bad person or just wrong. I think he had good intentions and he had seen the ugly side of early industrial capitalism all too well. But he was simply wrong about a lot of things.

Good piece of knowledge!! Thanks for sharing.

Karl Heinrich Marx was a Prussian militant philosopher, economist, sociologist, journalist, intellectual and communist, great man! He was an admirable person with many qualities. Thank you for remembering this great being

He was wrong about many key things. Others who came after him implemented his ideas bringing about horrible suffering to vast numbers of people. Some of the greatest mass murderers in human history were communists.

Now that I see it from that point of view, if I think I'm very wrong and you're right, I did not think that thanks to these people, that kind of thing happened, that really surprised me

The cultural revolution of China and the Soviet Gulag system are worth reading about because of the extent of horror those two inflicted on so many millions of people. Neither would have been possible in an open society with checks and balances in place to limit the extent of power held by any individual or group of individuals.

thank you, I will definitely take some time to read it, I found it very interesting
