Marx was right.

@CdnCurmudgeon

Marx was right about almost everything and it's so depressing that everyone thinks of him as some evil guy when he really wasn't.

Did he have some bad views? Yes! A lot of those were a product of his time, but they were still kinda bad and don't need to be defended.
But those were in his letters, and maybe 1 or 2 minor essays he published. Doesn't make the rest of what he said bad.

@burnoutqueen @CdnCurmudgeon who TF thinks of Karl friggin Marx as an "evil guy"? (It's Americans, isn't it)
@silhouette @burnoutqueen
Decades of the Soviets promoting Marxist-Leninist ideology created the false belief they two were alike, and only after the fall of the USSR was Marx able to be freed from that association. Now we can assess his views independently.
