Marx was a leeching piece of shit.
Marx was a fucking genius whose works were so profound the world itself changed as a result, for the better.
• While Marx called for the abolishment of private property, taxes now are progressive.
• While Marx called for the end of patriarchy, women since Marx are able to work, keep their earnings, vote, and control their reproduction.
• While Marx cried to the end of family as existed at that time, child labor is now prohibited, spousal abuse is not legal any longer, and divorce is available.
• While Marx cried for an end to religion, church is now separated from state and education is secular and available to all.
Also, being the first real social scientist is no slouch. There were only philosophers before Marx. Intellectuals before him described the world, intellectuals after him change it.
