Teen Vogue revisits post on Karl Marx, but here are 11 Fun-Facts about the Commie

Former teen magazine turned far-Left propaganda garbage pail liner, Teen Vogue, dug up an old article about the relevance of the father of death and poverty, Karl Marx.

Teen Vogue’s piece last May on the relevance of Karl Marx’s ideas is so important in their socialist minds, they’re running it again. They should have titled the piece "Everything you want to know about Marx and you're glad he's gone." But let's face it, if you want to be educated on Communism, Teen Vogue is the place to go.

The idea that Teen Vogue is pushing Marxism makes one think they're behind most of the Democrats on the Left, and not Joe Biden who still sniffs the hair of the girls who used to read the magazine.

The article only discusses Marx's ideas, not his personal, more detestable side. You can read the article here.

Here are just a few Fun Facts about the unwashed Commie:

1.  While attending Bonn University in 1835, where he studied law at the behest of his father, young Karl the Commie drank himself silly and partied like it was 1965. He also borrowed a lot of money without re-paying it because he was, after all, Karl Marx.

 2. After receiving his PhD at the University of Berlin [go you fightin' Weiner schnitzels!] he went the capitalist route and made his money via writing and journalism.

 3. He had 7 children, all of his daughters were named Jenny in honor of his wife, Jenny. Of his children overall, only 3 survived into adulthood due to the extremely poor living conditions Marx provided for them. 

4. When living in Paris, he borrowed money from his buddy Friedrich Engels, about $36,000 in all. That's a lot of bread in those days. In a letter Marx wrote to Engels for his 50th birthday, he recalled his mother's words: "If only Karl made capital instead of just writing about it,"

5. When his father died of TB in 1838, Marx did not attend his funeral.

6. He had frequent sex with the [unpaid] family maid under the same roof as his wife and children, and she became pregnant and bore a son. But he forbid the son to visit his mother in London when he was at home, and when he did visit, he had to use the back door. He also had Engels claim parentage of the boy to avoid public embarrassment and an angry wife. 

7. When he lived in London, he used many aliases so he could get out of paying the rent and covertly move out of the apartments. [This may be the inspiration for Bernie Sanders and the rest of the Dem crew for the notion of "free stuff".] In one instance, he was kicked out of his apartment for failing to pay the rent and his wife had to sell a pair of his pants just to buy food. Communism works great, eh? In fact, from the time he moved to England in 1849, to the time of his death, he and his family lived in abject poverty.

8. He played the stock markets. He wrote his uncle [husband of his mother's sister]  Lion Philips, a Dutch businessman, in a letter dated June 25, 1864: "I have, which will surprise you not a little, been speculating partly in American funds, but more especially in English stocks, which are springing up like mushrooms this year (in furtherance of every imaginable and unimaginable joint stock enterprise) are forced up to a quite unreasonable level and then, for most part, collapse. In this way, I have made over 400£. Now that the complexity of the political situation affords greater scope, I shall begin all over again." So when it came to himself, Marx was a hypocrite capitalist.

9. Marx was anti-Semitic in spite of being born a Jew. "What was the profane basis of Judaism?" he wrote. "Practical need. Self-interest What is the worldly cult of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money." [See number 8]

10. He had poor personal hygiene and smelled like a bicycle seat at the end of a hot summer day. A Prussian cop investigating the commie in London in 1850  reported on his room: "Everything is dirty and covered with dust, so that to sit down becomes a hazardous business." Other accounts say that he hardly ever took baths or washed otherwise. He had numerous boils that he suffered for decades and once wrote to Engels: "Whatever happens, I hope the bourgeoisie, as long as they exist, will have cause to remember my carbuncles." 

11. He died on March 17, 1883. Eleven people in all attended his funeral. Perhaps they were out drinking as it was St. Patrick's Day.

Marx memorial vandalized

There's plenty more about Marx that depict him as a scumcrumpet and this should be considered merely as a primer.
