If he's such a communist, why does he have capital letters in his name?

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 12 points 2 weeks ago

Name checks out... I've never seen one check this far out either, maybe a record

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

Wait until you hear about his other famous book

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Das Kapitalist

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 30 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Who’s the guy in the old-timey photo? I wish there were something pointing out who it is; totally confused here.

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That's santa, you just don't recognize him because the picture is in greyscale so u can't see his iconic red and white clothing

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So then he's a capitalist, all about consumption.

[–] iii@mander.xyz 11 points 2 weeks ago

It's not slave labour if they're elves!

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think that might be Friedrich Engels. It's difficult to say without more information.

[–] favogiuseppo@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Was Jesus Christ a Christian?

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 21 points 2 weeks ago

No, he was not. His followers were.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Must've been, I see all these paintings of him wearing a cross.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

And that cross grew and grew and grew, until one day ... that cross was wearing him!

[–] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Everybody thinks he was a communist, but in reality he was a Mall Santa 🤯🎅🏻

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Santa is the most communist of communists; giving gifts to all children just for being "good".

This is how I started questioning the existence of Santa, even kids I knew were little bastards got all the good gifts.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

Also giving coal to the "naughty" kids, so they can spend at least one day warm during winter

[–] ososalsosal@aussie.zone 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Idk man so many people write about Nazism who aren't Nazis.

Maybe Karl just really liked writing about communism? Maybe we're all wrong about this Marx guy?

[–] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Looking at the logo, he obviously was just another misunderstood farmer-carpenter.

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

No thats stupid he was a Marxist lib.

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Liberal authoritarian

[–] Klear@quokk.au 1 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't that a bit narcissist?

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's what this book I have says.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He just wanted to treat women as property of the state, and came up with a very elaborate cover story for doing so

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, incelunism.
