I literally cannot understand why Marx is even still relevant. He is basically the Hitler of whatever the equivalent of /pol/ is on the left.

Honestly, if the Soviet Union was never established, would Marxism be anything more than a historical relic that you spend about a paragraph on in your 101 course? As an economist, he really has absolutely no value, and as a philosopher he really gets outclassed by any of his peers.

Honestly, I have read Marx. I have tried to understand the hype. I really have tried, but it just isn't there. What is so great about him other than the fact that the identity of being a "marxist" appeals to the outcasts of our society, much like being a "national socialist" I might add? I'm just so tired of discussing him, he can't pull his weight on his own.
