There has never been a better time to add value to your life by reading Marx's "Wage Labor and Capital" collection. Do not believe the propaganda. It is about the social and community value of a person's labor and activity being worth more than mere economic output. This importance is your future

the book I'm reading mentions that too, that Napoleon forced the Jews to abandon patronymics and take family names c.1808, and many people just made their patronymic into a surname,
hence, Heinrich Marx's father was Meier Marx HaLevi (Marx being a variant of Marcus)

Fun fact: Most wrote a simplified version of Capital that Marx himself didn't really like, so he rewrote parts of it. Marx's version of Most's book reaffirms Marx's physiological and transhistorical definition of abstract labour, contra the modern-day value-form revisionists.

so far, among the interesting tidbits I've learned from the opening of this book include that Karl Marx's cousin Frederik Philips and cousin-once-removed Gerard Philips co-founded the megacorporation Philips Electronics in 1891

In addition, historical interpretations of this period in China have been shaped by Karl Marx's writings on this subject. Despite his anti-imperialist stance, Marx often uses racist expressions, such as "barbarous"and "hereditary stupidity," to describe Chinese culture and people.

In Marx’s critique of capitalism, fascism is the response to capitalism in crisis which is why ppl who have read Marx have been trying to warn ppl for awhile. Understanding Marx is not the same as ‘being a communist’ Communism is just some ppl’s response to the inevitable outcome of capitalism.

Right--Marx's explanation of currencies, use-value, and surplus-value makes perfect sense to me and applies here.
What the crypto bros want is to have an untraceable, therefore untaxable, currency that can buy anything they want, legal or ethical or not.
It's dumb shit.

How old were you when you found out Groucho Marx’s mustache was painted on? I ask because my mother, allegedly a fan, was surprised to learn this from me just now.
Same question, Charlie Chaplin.
