fun

A mystery as old as time…

even if marx were a strung out alcoholic, I wouldn't blame him, since he had like 7 kids and 4 died. That's a stressful life. Just 1 child living is a handful, and just 1 child dying is a tragedy.

also everyone was an alcoholic back then. the water was full of poop. you had to drink small ale all day

oh no karl marx' dad had a typical boomer opinion, how will commies ever recover?

Heinrich Marx was a bourgeois vineyard owner and he wrote this letter to Karl when Karl was 19 years old. An age when most 4chinlets are still sponging in their mum's basements. And of course Heinrich Marx would characterize Karl's disgust with the exploitation of the working class as "jealousy of the bourgeoisie" who Heinrich characterized as having worked hard for their gilded carriages and lavish palaces. Engels also had a similar relationship with his father, a factory owner. Marxism was born of bourgeois sons. If the sons of the bourgeoisie are capable of criticizing capitalism, so should the proletariat, who are much more exploited.

Maybe they dont like Marx because leftism is when troons and high taxes. The more troons and high taxes you have the more lefisters it is.

You can have a lot of money and still in squalor. Wasn't he just a slob?

He didn't have a lot of money though. His parents were bourgeois but they disowned him for being a radical. He relied on charity from Engels his whole life, but Engels was politically active and had a lot of people he helped out so he couldn't always give Karl the exact amount he needed. Things only got worse once he was exiled from Prussia and lived in London. He wanted to move to America and live on a homestead in Texas but was never able to pull it off. Texan Marx continues to be the source of funny speculation.
>Wasn't he just a slob?
Maybe but he also had several children and lived in a fairly small apartment. The building he lived in is still an apartment complex to this day and people still rent there. It's more like a combination of factors, his writing huge manuscripts, his living in a small cramped apartment, his having several children, his reliance on Engels for money, etc. led to him having a chaotic life and led to him having a reputation for being a slob.

Probably pretty normal for the 19th century.

Because it's character assassination. The hypocrisy is the point. This "information" is meant to intimidate and scare away people that might be interested in actually reading Marx.
