Karl Marx’s writing of the communist manifesto is one of the long term causes of the majority of the worlds problems, prove me wrong

[williamedwards]

I'm sure Marx would've loved that watch ad in the middle of his biography.

"Now let me stop talking about Marx and Communism to talk about this overpriced luxury watch"

[WhiteBloggerBlackSpecs]

"If only Karl had made capital instead of just writing about it." Let's take a moment to appreciate that savage roast by Mama Marx

[telebread]

the first communist revolution occurred in 1871 with the Paris Commune not the Russian revolution...

How do you call a communist sniper?

A marxman

So his older brother died when he was only 101... poor guy, if only he had a handcrafted luxury watch.

Karl Marx is a historically famous philosopher and political theorist, but very few people know about his sister, Onya, the inventor of the starter pistol.

_The Communist Manifesto_ was not Marx’s magnum opus by far lol. That work is a pamphlet. His magnum opus is very much understood to be _Capital_

"when his brother died in 1919"


you mean he lived 101 years?

[QueenetBowie]

Let’s not turn this into a heated socio-economic argument form, Capitalist or Marxist, let’s all just enjoy this for what it is, a biography of a historical figure.

I know it’ll be ignored but a lowly YouTube commenter can hope and dream...

[BomChickyBowWow]

Ironic this video is sponsored by luxury watches.

"I wish my son would go out and earn capital instead of just writing about it." Is my favorite quote about Karl. It was said by his mother of all people lol

0:37 - Thank you, Simon, for mentioning this important statement! As a guy who studied Soviet communism compared to Marx's writings, I totally agree! Other suggestions for later videos similar to Marx include Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Marcus Tulius Cicero, Edmund Burke, and Thomas Hobbes.
