Because Marx was based and a lot of losers want to be like him.

No he wasn't. He was a leftist loser who blamed all his shortcomings on others. So, yes, losers want to be like him in that they also want to blame all their shortcomings on others. There is nothing based about anything he said.

Karl Marx...

Never ran a company.

Never held political office.

Never oversaw any accounts.

Never even held a job - any job.

Not even a position at a university.

He drank heavily.

He had a worthless humanities degree.

He was a misogynist, a homophobe and a racist.

Supported throughout his life by his rich friend Friedrich Engels.

He is considered by academics to be the greatest social, political, and economic philosopher of all time.

All applications of his theories have ended in failure.

I never understood the obsession with this guy when he was such a massive piece of shit and embodied everything hated by a large swathof the people that follow him. I understand that even shitty people can have great ideas, but this baffles me.
