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 Communist manifesto is shit too.
@livinghell @burnoutqueen
The Communist Manifesto has valid content, if you understand that Marx was writing >150 years ago and the world he describes has radically altered beyond anything Marx imagined. Still, there are valid statements and concerns in it, though, that are relevant to today's predatory capitalism.
@CdnCurmudgeon @burnoutqueen Productivism was always a misguided approach. With modern science we know just how suicidal it is. Concept of a historically progressive bourgeoisie is also worth reconsideration.
