Not sure but Groucho Marx often was.
If you don’t get any play on this topic, there are lots of threads on the web.
This one has pretty high level comments on this complex problem.
He made some good points when describing some problems.
His solutions, and their derivatives, have been completely wrong.
Isn’t life on the spaceship enterprise like communism?
I just read the communist manifesto and I’m moving on to capital. This stuff is goid! I think I might be a marxist.
I never read Karl Marx. Seems old. Is it really that good?
You should read Thomas Pikety’s capital in the 21st century. He the hottest economist right now.
Animal Farm. Great book, especially the ending. Kinda like what is going on in china right now.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.
Groucho
Yes, he was largely right. He’s one of the greatest economic philosophers in history. Like him or not, he was brilliant.
I’ve found that the **vast majority** of people who put down Marx and/or his theories have never actually read Marx. Most haven’t read Adam Smith, either.
I mean, jeez, everyone should have their own personal private copy.
I don’t even own a bible. I should take a complementary copy from a hotel.

Is it brilliant to theorize that a brain surgeon and a janitor should be paid the same? No, and that’s essentially what Marx claims.
Do most workers feel alienated at work. Paramount, do you feel sort of just plain shifty about the housing market, money, life, rrlationships? Maybe Marx has something descriptive to say about it.
sorry, wrong thread
