Karl Marx (1818-1883) 1

A hypocritical individual (why would someone who believed in Marxism so heartily have a maid, for example?...) who had a half-baked idea. Sadly, fools got hold of this idea and believed it to be a work of genius. Step forward seventy years of fear, oppression and death.

Marx was a hypocrite, but not because he didn't want maids to be out of work. His analysis of capitalism was pretty much on the money, but his recipe for an alternate society amounts to monopoly state capitalism. I believe, like Stalin, Trotsky, Castro, etc., Marx wanted to be a 'benevolent' despot.

Marx was and still is a global dictator with a big lead iron fist just waiting to be brought down on the poor. Marx is behind the Property tax.
