>Karl Marx actually sold his books ("Das Kapital") and generated a profit of them.
>There are rape allegations that Marx also fathered a son, Freddy, out of wedlock by his housekeeper, Helene Demuth
>Drove his daughter to suicide. Laura Marx committed suicide with her husband in a suicide pact in 1911. The reason given was that they were too old to continue being of use to the socialist movement.
A self hating one. So is this thread going to discredit Marx on the basis of what he was/did or on what he wrote and said?

Healthy in body and mind, I end my life before pitiless old age which has taken from me my pleasures and joys one after another; and which has been stripping me of my physical and mental powers, can paralyse my energy and break my will, making me a burden to myself and to others. For some years I had promised myself not to live beyond 70; and I fixed the exact year for my departure from life. I prepared the method for the execution of our resolution, it was a hypodermic of cyanide acid. I die with the supreme joy of knowing that at some future time, the cause to which I have been devoted for forty-five years will triumph. Long live Communism! Long Live the Second International.
