If you'd like an example of hilarious Marxist doublethink, point out the prof who's trying to inject that corrosive sludge into your intellect that by that standard Marx's work are to be interpreted as the logical product of the condition of the 19th-century English working class -- a condition that no longer exists.

Therefore, by his own standards, Marx was not much of a thinker, and his ideas are completely irrelevant and pointless today.

Philosophy and great art deal in concepts universal to humanity, my friend. Focusing on the context of a great work is an attempt to distract a would-be student from learning anything from it.

2+2 = 4 is as true today as it was 1000 years ago as it will be 1000 years from now. It's the same with Plato or Shakespeare.
