If you’ve ever wondered why Marxists hardly talk about the personal life of their god, Karl Marx, it’s because he was basically the original Redditor ⬇️ Karl Marx was a chronically unemployed drunk pig with a severe spending problem who lived on handouts from his family and others. Despite the most famous image of Marx portraying him as clean & sophisticated, he was a slob in actuality. He was such a slob that he had to be reminded to bathe, and visitors to his home wrote that sitting down in house of squalor would “risk you a pair of trousers.” While writing about abolishing inheritance, Marx was collecting inheritance from his family and his aristocrat wife’s family. Any money given to them would be gone almost as fast as they received it due to Marx’s immature spending. He also refused to work of course. He was vocally pro-slavery and even had an indentured servant who he never paid a penny. He would later end up getting this indentured servant pregnant and tried blaming it on his good friend, Engels. Almost everybody who wrote about him could not gloss over what a dreadful drunk he was. At one point he locked a friend in his house and threatened him with a pair of handcuffs. Oh, and he really, really hated the Jews.
