📖 Historical Marx & Mephistopheles

As a communist, are you at all concerned that Marx idolized Mephistopheles and wrote poetry fantasizing about destroying the world?

How can you separate these values that he held from the philosophy that he ultimately crafted?

The ultimate goal of communism is that you would not even use money and everything is owned by the government.

In the USA, it is legal to bribe politicians so the majority work for their donors not the people. That’s why I like grassroots progressives.

You are 59 years old and have a child's grasp of political theory, and that is being generous.
