I recently went down the Engels, Marx, Nietzsche, etc. pipeline and I just gotta say I’m suprised at what I found. This is the same Karl Marx who said “We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.”

The idea that Marx would be aPpAlLed At StAliNiSm is laughable at best.

      Marx would be the one with the comically large spoon when high on weed or alcohol, then using the energy trying to throw down a church/mosque/synagogue kicking the building and failing to burn it with some matches, blaspheming loudly until the police brings him back to Stalin and then Stalin would have to wait for Marx yelling at him for letting religious freedom be legal again, then angrily changing the subject many times until falls to sleep in the same position while Stalin is face-palming in his desk.

      Edit: more coherence.

        This is one of the most hilarious things I could see in my brain, I love it. Marx would totally nag him for the religion thing lmao.

          I mean, Marx used to try to brake street lights with stones while being drunk, and Engels be pleading and almost crying for him to finish the Communist Manifesto lmao. Fucking Marx was metal as fuck.

    Marx was a antistatist. Lenin and Stalin distorted marx’s ideas. Marx is more of a anarchist than a communist.

    A famous leftist youtuber. (Im obviously paraphrasing)

    Spiked is a very dumb and sometimes insane media outlet. I mean there are exceptions, there are a few good articles here and there, but by and large it’s safe to ignore anything published there. The idea that Marx has much in common with Nietzsche, a guy who openly and explicitly advocated for class hierarchy and enslavement of the masses, is laughable.
