Karl Marx

A hypocrite. A spoiled and debauched son of a wealthy Jewish lawyer, he blackmailed his mother to squeeze money out of her. When he was a publisher, he behaved like a true oppressive capitalist, paying his employees starvation wages. At the Neue Rheinische Zeitung, he referred to the oppressed classes as human garbage. A demagogic charlatan, a lazy opportunist. He exploited his friend-doormat Engels, who funded him with money earned by also exploiting workers in factories.
