Ha, if you think Marx is objectionable then you really need to read Das Kapital.

  Ah, something I can respond to without engaging in ideological battle. Instead, let's look at history. I think Marx is objectionable because he was, objectively, an awful person. I mean, just to take one single example, look at what he wrote about Ferdinand Lassalle in this letter to Engels: https://marxists.architexturez.net/archive/marx/works/1862/letters/62_07_30a.htm https://marxists.architexturez.net/archive/marx/works/1862/l... ... Yes. That's literally what Marx wrote. The first two paragraphs are particularly revealing on the question of whether Marx was, or was not, motivated by envy.

    Seriously, you'd do better to engage with ideology and philosophy rather than the personal letters of flawed human beings.

      "Opponents of obscene wealth/income inequality are typically not motivated by envy – that is your own projection." That's literally what you wrote to start the thread.
