The Importance of Respect in a Revolution
In spite of other would-be revolutionaries before and since, Marx was a mannequin. There's no evidence that he ever set foot in a factory, not once in his whole life. His mother bitterly complained that she wished that her son would accumulate capital instead of just writing about it. If you agreed with Karl Marx, who was a bitter, bitter man, then you were a friend to the revolution. And this, by the way, defines pretty much all revolutionaries from Lenin, Stalin, Cheguevara, Fidel Castro, all of them.
