"Marx said that he was aware that it affected his writing," said Prof. Shuster. "He was writing his big works like Das Kapital at a time when the disease was particularly bad and it was pretty clear that he was not in the best of moods when he was writing it." In addition to reducing his ability to work, which contributed to his poverty, "hidradenitis greatly reduced his self-esteem," said Prof. Shuster. "This explains his self-loathing and alienation, a response reflected by the alienation Marx developed in his writing." Marx, who died in 1883, told philosopher Friedrich Engels in a letter in 1867: "The bourgeoisie will remember my carbuncles until their dying day." Acid comments Because of his illness, Karl Marx might not have been in the best of moods when he made the following observations. "Capital is dead labour, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks." "For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him." "Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the labourer, unless under compulsion from society." "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce." "I am not a Marxist."

in a less repressive and less alienated world, people would be less inclined toward hedonism and more inclined toward creative expression everyone born under capitalism is a doomed and broken soul, our only function is to lay the groundwork for the creation of the new socialist man

In theory, but in practice I may run across a article about the former whereas I'll never read the WSJ article about the latter. I took a serious blow, mentally.

i don't hate anybody involved with the dumb article, it's just a pinch-the-bridge-of-your-nose-and-sigh moment that you have so many of when your brain is literally consumed 24/7 with the trauma of our hosed up world and trying to do everything within your meager amount of power leftover in the empty gas tank at the end of the day after a poo poo job to help facilitate an entire restructuring of civilization from the bedrock up knowing full well you'll die before even a tenth of the job is finished
