    I just went ahead and read The Poverty of Philosophy by Marx (an answer to Proudhon’s The Philosophy of Poverty) today and oh boy that Proudhon guy is such a clown. His work is pure, unadulterated petty bourgeois idealism and circular thinking (and somehow his grasp of basic mathematics is even worse). And Marx doesn’t spare his tongue; no wonder “their friendship finally ended” after the release of Marx’s response (to quote marxists.org article on Proudhon).

    Certified banger, Lenin level of dunk. Would read again.

      Sounds like the Average Marxist-Anarchist interaction on the internet.
