No. It's not good at all. The best parts are Karl and Friedrich bro'ing out and talking philosophy, but it's mostly hagiographic pablum that papers over a lot of the most important parts of Marx's life and thought because they only produced like 7 episodes. If your friends are otaku freaks that love any anime no matter what then you should recommend it, but nobody else would be impressed or find it interesting.

Actually it's good.

i mean, it really is good. the first episode is pretty clunky but after that it does fine. if you're expecting a TRUE FACTS RETELLING of marx's biography you're not gonna get that, i don't even think the young karl marx did that particularly well. the anime episode on capital does a good job boiling down the theory of exploitation into fairly understandable terms.

Being a decent rundown of Marxism and Capital doesn't make it a good show, sorry. If that's really all you care about, then you might as well recommend people watch those episodes in particular. It's not an issue of it not being a TRUE FACTS RETELLING of Marx's biography, it's a bad biography period.

I'd be betraying my poster's code if I were to give the Karl Marx anime less than the critical rigour that Marx himself would have given it.

What would Marx's opinion on anime be? My immediate thought was that he'd hate it but considering his lifestyle I can't help but think he would've insisted at least one big-tittied anime was actually a deep narrative with complex characters.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Engels doodled topless women in the margins of his books so I'm thinking he's more of a lock for that

the marx anime is bad because the language is so dense. are they just transliterating instead of paraphrasing or what

you do know the chinese government has/had an entire publishing house for translating the works of marx, engels, lenin and stalin, right?

like, peep the first entry in their national library system. i'm guessing they have their own translations

Giving Karl Marx a box set of your favorite anime with TV and solar cell to power it would be the equivalent of that dude who gave Undertale to the pope. Even better and funnier though would be bringing Marx to the future and handing him a phone with twitter on it so he too can be called revisionist by various users that are indeed bappin'

I'm more interested in what M&E's take on the internet would be. Though to your question he loved fantasy allegories (like bringing up vampires a lot) so if he wrote today i assume he'd use more modern contemporaries.

wasbappin isn't a maoist or a hoxhaist so he wouldn't call people revisionist scum. he's one of the guys who sees "assadists" around every corner so calls people genocide deniers or fascists
