Marx lived his entire adult life as a dependent. The capitalist system funded his "research" through Engels, whose family wealth came from textile factories. The irony cuts deep: capitalism's profits subsidized its most famous critic.
Marx never held a real job. Never met payroll. Never risked capital or faced bankruptcy. He spent decades theorizing about labor value while avoiding actual labor. His insights into production came from library books, not factory floors.
The parasitic intellectual tradition he spawned continues today. Academic Marxists collect taxpayer-funded salaries while denouncing the market system that creates the wealth they consume.
It's time to get rid of these people.
@QueenAnticommie So much of it is being driven by the progeny of upper and upper-middle class business people who can't replicate their parents' success and have to deal with a lower standard of living.

@cenkuygur Well you aren't going to get there by voting for a drunk, pliable, asshole who may be the easiest politician to blackmail whose last name isn't Kennedy.
If you think the machine isn't going to have him in the palm of their hand in ten seconds, you are insane.
@hecubian_devil Yes we all see the pieces of shit on @sircalebhammer show who worked a deskjob in the army for a year and get a lifetime of disability just by saying a few scripted words. Just because its legal doesn't make it right or justifiable. Kinda like getting a Nazi tattoo.
@EsotericCD Dude, I've been a year in my new house with just a bathtub and it's driving me crazy. Getting a shower installed is finally happening this summer. I can't wait.
@grahamformaine They may go hand-in-hand, but they can't go in either of your hands because you have a beer in one and you're restraining your girlfriend with the other.
Graham Platner having his best fundraising day after the NYT reported that he hates and abuses women and was lying about his Nazi tattoo tells you everything you need to know about the modern Democratic party.
