KARL MARX WAS A LOSER
WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU CALL A MAN WHO DIDN'T SUPPORT HIS
FAMILY?
His wife bore 7 children. Only 3 of those children
lived to be adults. The other 4 died young from the effects of living in
poverty.
Karl Marx was a 'thinker'. He sat in a chair and
thought about what it must be like to be a working man.
Rather than experiencing the world as it was, Marx
thought about how he wished it would be.
Though he had never worked, Marx concluded that a
working man was selling his soul to his boss.
In particular, Marx thought about the new process of
making cotton thread by machine, in a factory. What he concluded is that the
owners of the factories became wealthy while the workers made wages barely
enough to live on. He did not consider that men were leaving the farms to work
in the factories because the pay was steady and there was one day off a week,
much better conditions than on the farm.
Marx decided the workers should own the factories. He
wrote loftily of the toil of the workers, without seeming to have any
understanding of investment in order to construct the factory. Nor did he
bother his mind to consider all that goes into managing a factory. He just saw
men working and found it so repulsive he decided they should at the least own
the factory so as to save their souls.
The fact that Marx never worked in itself makes his
'thinking' suspect, but much worse is how Marx provided for his family.
For most of his adult life, and in particular while
his children were young, Karl Marx's main source of income came from his
friend, Engels, who periodically sent money to support the family.
Engels, in turn, received his money from - cotton
mills! His family were owners of a mill in Manchester, England. Engels himself
lived off the workers, and the money he sent to his friend Karl Marx was from
the profits of the factory.
Karl Marx lived off the toil of factory workers while
bemoaning their fate and 'thinking' of how it ought to be.
Karl Marx was a parasite. What sort of man can watch
his children go hungry and bury four of them but refuse to work in order to
provide for them? The money he received from Engels was never enough to raise
the Marx family out of poverty. Certainly their circumstances were worse than
those of the factory workers. And Marx was an educated man. He certainly could
have found work had he wanted to.
Marx's philosophy of a worker selling his soul seems
to be his own excuse for his negligence toward his wife and children.
Did he think it was better for his children to die
than for him to get a job and provide for them?
What's astonishing is that a loser such as Karl Marx
is taken seriously, his philosophy touted as the working man's utopia.
Of course, wherever Marxism has been instituted, be it
in Cuba, in North Korea, in China, in Russia, the workers have never found
themselves better off. In fact, Marxism brings with it famine, starvation, and
death.
Marx had no experience in the world, no experience
working. His experience seems confined to sitting in a chair 'thinking'. And as
he thought he contrived a theory which was no more than his own excuse for not
working.
Those people who espouse Marxism as the way the world
ought to be are no better than Marx himself. Chances are they too are
parasites. They're certainly not people who truly care about others. They just
want to do like Marx, live off someone else's toil.
Karl Marx Lived In Filth And Neglected His Children
AND FOUR DIED
WHEN AN EDUCATED MAN CHOOSES TO LIVE IN POVERTY, AND
RAISE HIS CHILDREN IN POVERTY, THAT IS ABUSE.
When Marx and his wife and children were living in
London, a visitor wrote a description of their lifestyle in their 3-room flat.
Not only did the Marx children have to endure the
hunger of poverty, they were raised in filth, or what his friend described as
"a pig-sty".
There was not one good piece of furniture in the flat.
There was a chair with a leg missing, a sofa "tattered and torn".
The table where Marx sat on his backside to read and
write was covered with pages of his writings, with newspapers and books, his
glasses, his inkstand and pen, and his pipe, as well as dirty and chipped tea
cups, dirty spoons, and whatever else someone dropped there, such as some
children’s playthings and his wife’s sewing.
Everything in his flat, according to his friend, was
dirty and covered with dust.
The flat was also in one of the worst sections of
London, where the rent was low.
Marx and his wife knew each other as children and
married when Marx was twenty-five, not so young in those days of 1843. He would
have been considered a grown man, mature and able to assume the
responsibilities of husband and father.
Both Marx and his wife came from comfortable homes,
hers more prominent. Her father was a Prussian Baron. And she, Jenny, was an
educated woman when she married Marx.
Together they had 7 children. Four of those children
died young. Only three survived to achieve adulthood.
Every biography of Marx reports that his four children
who died young died because of the poverty they had to endure.
The Marx way of life has been described as a
hand-to-mouth existance, which generally means you don’t know where your next
meal is coming from.
Marx occasionally wrote articles for newspapers and he
wrote his long papers and books full of his philosophies about the ’struggle’
of workers, but he never worked a day in his life.
Instead, he sat in his pig-sty and found all sorts of
reasons he shouldn’t work.
Mainly, he thought he was too important to work.
Marx wrote that a slave needs a master and the master
needs a slave. And that opposites must be equalled. And that a slave cannot be
separated from his master.
Care to argue with that nonsense?
I’ve known men like Marx. They’re just plain lazy. As
he was. He didn’t want to work, he wanted to sit in the filth at his table and
pretend to be thinking important thoughts.
Marx was also a hypocrite. While he wrote with such
sympathy for the men who worked in factories, calling them slaves, the money he
lived on, the charity he received from his friend Friedrich Engels, came from
the Engels family interest in a factory. So the ’slaves’ were supporting the
Marx family, while Marx sat and thought.
Watching his children go hungry, seeing them live in
filth, is neglect. It is abuse. There was no need for it. He had an education
and could have earned an income, and he knew where he had come from, a
comfortable life with his parents. He could have provided for his family as his
father had provided for him, but obviously that was not important to him.
Karl Marx was not well known in his lifetime. It was
only a small circle of fellow Communists who knew who he was by his writings.
An eighth child was born to Marx, but not with his
wife. It was an illigitimate child.
As it happened, Jenny, Karl’s wife, received an
inheritance and so she hired a housekeeper to oversee their better quarters.
His eighth child was born to the housekeeper.
Marx tried to convince his wife that the child had
been fathered by his friend Engels, but she didn’t believe him. Let’s add liar
to his description.
Eventually, Marx admitted the truth. The child was his
son.
No one ever reported the housekeeper’s side of the
story. Had she been a willing partner for Marx? Or did he take advantage of her
lowly position in his home? Personally, I think he saw her as nothing but a
servant and one he could ’have his way’ with.
By any standard, Marx’ life was a failure, as a
husband, as a father, as a provider.
His theory of Marxism has been a failure, too. The
Soviet Union failed dramatically. Cuba’s people live in poverty. And in North
Korea the people truly are slaves to their Marxist beloved leader.
Under Marxism, more than one hundred million people
have died, either from being murdered or from starvation.
When a man in his selfishness and laziness is willing
to watch his own children die from the poverty he has imposed on them, of
course his philosophy will do the same to anyone forced to endure it.
Marx abused his children, his wife, his housekeeper,
and Marxism continues to abuse everyone living under a brutally uncaring
Marxist government.
Karl Marx came from a very wealthy family.
– He
was an ardent anti-semetic; he once wrote that along with capitalism, the world
would also “abolish the essence of Jewry.”
–
Continually borrowed money from Friedrich Engels (“his bitch” Molyneux
points out), family, friends and moneylenders. He became enraged when the bills
with interest came in.
– Never
held a regular job, though he did write a lot.
– Didn’t appreciate those opposing his
viewpoints and became angry and curt with them.
– His
extravagance included alcoholism, but not hygiene. His improvidence led to the
death of his three children in early childhood, but he blamed others and not
himself.
– Never
paid the household’s servants, though “dear, faith Lenchen” stayed on until his
death.
–
Cheated on his wife with the maid and was the father of her child –
Engels claimed it was his in order to protect Marx and to save his marriage.
Engels would make the confession on Marx’s deathbed.
– Most
of his relationships were self-centered and exploitive and he was mostly a
misanthropic man with much disgust for the world and humanity.
