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

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

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

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

Wait until you hear about his other famous book

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

Das Kapitalist

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 31 points 2 months 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 28 points 2 months 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 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Was Jesus Christ a Christian?

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

No, he was not. His followers were.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 7 points 2 months 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 months ago

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

[–] ososalsosal@aussie.zone 17 points 2 months 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 months ago

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

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

No thats stupid he was a Marxist lib.

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

Liberal authoritarian

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

Isn't that a bit narcissist?

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

That's what this book I have says.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Ah yes, incelunism.
