Karl Marx is transported into the future. The world breathlessly awaits his commentary on contemporary events from his account, @KarlMarx

Then a tweet.

"Melania Trump, a mongrelized import from the greasy and primitive Slavic frontier, is a most ghastly addition to this court of jackals..."

Karl... no!

I actually never got past the second paragraph where he first calls Lassalle a Jewish n-word but upon review, near the end he uhh goes off

Karl Marx posted:

It is now quite plain to me — as the shape of his head and the way his hair grows also testify — that he is descended from the negroes who accompanied Moses’ flight from Egypt (unless his mother or paternal grandmother interbred with a friend of the family). Now, this blend of Jewishness and Germanness, on the one hand, and basic negroid stock, on the other, must inevitably give rise to a peculiar product. The fellow’s importunity is also friend of the family-like.

I think Marx was pissed off becuase not only Lassale refused to lend him money but also recommended him to pimp his daughter or have her serve as a 'companion' which while doesn't excuse that, it really makes it understandable.

Lassalle was a boorish elitist nonce but just from the first paragraph you can tell Karl's biggest beef is that Lassalle had wealth and influence to flaunt while Karl could barely afford to pay the butcher off the money he made writing for newspapers, and was indebted to all the other grocers, the landlord, the piano man and his childrens' schools

Marx was engaged in a contemporary debate with Russian leftists, so he probably wouldn't be that surprised.

I think the thing Marx failed to predict was that conditions would improve enough in the industrialized world through concessions to stem off revolutionary sentiment, to the point that the only places where a revolution could actually happen were so immiserated that their governments couldn't afford social pensions or healthcare and the like.

In Marx's day, the conditions of industrialized society were the worst in the world.

do you think he'd be impressed or horrified at a successful socdem state like norway if seen in a bubble

i guess he hadn't thought a lot about imperialism either, especially compared to lenin
