He did write tre communist manifesto after all

2018-05-07 03:42:13 UTC  

somewhat

2018-05-07 03:42:18 UTC  

He definitely wrote some books

2018-05-07 03:42:19 UTC  

Wow

2018-05-07 03:42:25 UTC  

i mean, he's been sort of influential i guess

2018-05-07 03:42:27 UTC  

What an accomplished guy

2018-05-07 03:42:35 UTC  

Literally what have you done

2018-05-07 03:42:44 UTC  

I should do more research before insulting people

2018-05-07 03:42:48 UTC  

Literally who

2018-05-07 03:42:58 UTC  

one time i made a really cool lego airplane when i was 12

2018-05-07 03:43:11 UTC  

I was wrong about communism

2018-05-07 03:43:15 UTC  

Maybe it does work

2018-05-07 03:43:26 UTC  

it was pretty impressive, i gotta say

2018-05-07 03:43:32 UTC  

Yeah

2018-05-07 03:43:34 UTC  

Hell yeah

2018-05-07 03:43:39 UTC  

That's only the volumes that have been published thus far. There are about 49 more. Marx was prolific af.

I mean how else would the USSR modernize so quickly

2018-05-07 03:43:57 UTC  

There literally no other way

Engels deserves credit as well.

2018-05-07 03:44:10 UTC  

engels is hella underrated

2018-05-07 03:44:17 UTC  

and i'm not even really a marxist

2018-05-07 03:44:40 UTC  

Gotta give him props for his contribution. He was very humble and while admittedly not on the same level as Marx, I will say that he's close. They were a deadly duo for sure.

2018-05-07 03:44:42 UTC  

he's responsible for me understanding dialectics

2018-05-07 03:44:47 UTC  

Yeah

2018-05-07 03:44:59 UTC  

Such bravery to stand up to the 1%

2018-05-07 03:45:36 UTC  

I wish i could live in the USSR instead of capitalist USA

2018-05-07 03:46:14 UTC  

looks like we're gonna have to go through the whole routine, boys

2018-05-07 03:46:16 UTC  

*sigh*

2018-05-07 03:47:08 UTC  

@mcstubbs His book "Anti-Duhring" is phenomenal. It's one of my favorite Marxist books.

2018-05-07 03:47:22 UTC  

it's amazing

2018-05-07 03:48:07 UTC  

I actually have a hardbound copy that was produced in the USSR. Mint condition and with a beautiful book ribbon attached.

2018-05-07 03:48:53 UTC  

i'm jealous

2018-05-07 03:49:16 UTC  

literally all of my intellectual books are paperback penguin classics or barnes and noble classics

2018-05-07 03:49:41 UTC  

my godfather has an original spanish inquisitor's manual, which is neat

2018-05-07 03:50:17 UTC  

@mcstubbs I have quite a few penguin paperbacks and some b&n classics. They're great for taking notes in and what not.

2018-05-07 03:50:50 UTC  

Did you embrace the glory of communism after reading Engels?

2018-05-07 03:50:51 UTC  

yeah, my copies of the prince and republic are marked to hell

2018-05-07 03:50:58 UTC  

Penguin is for plebs
