The REAL ‘life’ of KARL MARX

Karl Marx spent his entire life avoiding work, sponging off his friends and family, burdening the lives of everyone he came into contact with, all because Marx wanted to overthrow the current regime (a subconscious rebellion against his parents) and install himself in the seat of ultimate power (as a way to avoid work). He didn't care about the "workers", his children, his wife, his parents, nor anybody else. All he cared about was himself, and today's video will show you exactly what happened and why.

Clarification for 32:04. Some Hermeticists call the Christian God the ‘demiurgos’ (the Artisan), while others call the true immaterial God the ‘demiurgos’... you know, just to confuse us. Well, for the purposes of this video, the name isn’t important. What matters is that, as a Hermeticist, Marx is looking to overcome the ‘material’ God and get to the true ‘immaterial’ God. So if in doubt, just ignore where I said “and they call him the Demiurgos”.

ABOUT TIK 📝

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

While I did criticise Francis Wheen in the video, I actually found his book to be very in-depth, and would still recommend it for anyone interested in doing further reading. Jone’s book on Karl Marx is very apologetic and is, therefore, less of a priority. Kengor’s book (The Devil and Karl Marx) is good if you’re interested in the Christian perspective of this topic.

For any socialist or communist who has realised that there may be a problem with the Marxist or socialist ideology and would like further help in understanding the problem, I’d recommend the following books (in this order):

Muravchik’s “Heaven on Earth: The Rise and Fall of Socialism”.
Henry Hazlitt’s “Economics in One Lesson”.
Leonard Peikoff’s “The Cause of Hitler’s Germany”. (Yes, it is relevant.)
Thomas Sowell’s “Basic Economics”.
L.K. Samuels’s “”Killing History”.
Murray Rothbard’s “America’s Great Depression”.
Ludwig von Mises’s “Omnipotent Government”.
Ludwig von Mises’s “Socialism”.

Jenny Marx after she left her fiance to get with Karl: " This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever."

[jollyscholar]

The only thing Marx hated about the aristocracy is that he was not born one.

[johnsanko]

7 minutes in, and we already know today Marx would be the top mod of r/antiwork on reddit. Resents the idea of work, relies entirely on parents for money, resents religion, has to be reminded by his mother to bathe at least once a week...

[lippi]

Just the pure fact that a third-rate, lazy philosopher was literally WORSHIPPED as a god irks me.

[alexanderchenf]

The biggest winner is our beloved Prussian lieutenant, actually. He dodged a bullet by being humiliated by Jenny.

On a lighter note:
A man goes to his rabbi and says “Rabbi, you never guess what happened to me. My son left the house and became a Christian! What am I to do?”
The rabbi embraces the man and cries “You never guess what happened to mé. My son left the house too and also became a Christian!”
“Best we pray to God and ask for his help” So they asked for wisdom in prayer, and God replied “You never guess what happened to mé…..!”

🤷🏻 sounds like every other communist and socialist I know now.

[levcomissarov]

This connection between hatred of Judaism and anti-capitalism is very important to understand, and I'm glad that TIK has pointed that out.

[SupaFUZZZZZZ]

I simply don't know how this gentleman keeps up this workload. Thanks for all your hard work Sir!

I’m just halfway through so it might come up later, but it is good to mention that through his mother, Karl was also related to the Philips family (yes, from the multi-billion euro multinational company). The founders of the modern Philips company were his cousins and their father (Karl’s uncle) was a rich tabacco trader from the Netherlands. The Philips family sent their nephew some pocket money every now and then when he asked for it.

So, while many people are aware that Engels was rich and sent Karl lots of money, I don’t think many people know Marx was surrounded by people that were absolutely loaded with money. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of people around him were actually very rich. It is probably another reason why Jenny married him, thinking his family and close friends could turn his fate around... It is therefore also not a surprise that a lazy slouch like him would end up so envious when that never materialised…

Karl Marx realizes he should get a job

Two hours into his two-and-a-half hours long biography 😂

Marx was more of an Edgelord Redditor type than I initially thought.

[gunbutter]

This whole presentation reminds me of my sister in law's ex-husband. A self described philosopher who would read environmental poetry to everyone. Wouldn't work, barely took care of himself hygienically, drank too much, and was profoundly anti-Christian. He's trans now.

[david]

Marx was a brutish, brooding, and bitter poet.
If more people knew the truth about him and his character they would promptly dismiss his poisonous philosophies.

P.S. If socialists and communists were truly operating on a 'higher spiritual plane', they wouldn't need to deceive others or force their worldview on others.

[jasonbelstone]

I've heard that Marx was a parasite. I knew that Marx was a parasite. But, no matter how many times its presented to me, I can barely fathom just how much he sucked.

[schizotypal]

After your explanation of Marx's character, I finally understand what is wrong with most the leftists. These just cracked his trick and try to emulate him. When I was a leftist, I was constantly at a loss why the other left-wing guys and girls tried to make me hate my job (which I loved), my parents (whom I have always respected for teaching me how to think for myself despite the altruist indoctrination they themselves received) and even the organisational activity (for I was 'too boring' in trying to build a trusted network of encrypted mail and IM communication in the Marxist circles around me). They don't want to make the revolution, they want to have a revolution to be made in their name, and everyone else to be sacrificed in it.

A chain smoking alcoholic who was so lazy that he didn't bathe regularly. What a God of a "man".
An excellent role model for Stalin and Mao.

[Jaeger_Bishop]

To quote Robert .E Heinlein: "Karl Marx is the disheveled old mystic of das capital".

He was a fool and a hypocrite that even believed in slavery, who was then buried in a private mosulium, because he didn't want to be buried in a state provided plot with the plebs he supposedly fought for. A mosulium by the way, that you have to PAY to view...something else that's supposedly against his teachings.

Anyone who believes in this guy's ideology shouldn't be allowed to vote, let alone dictate to anyone else what fair and just mean.
