While I'm all for people practicing ideologies, Marx sounds like a fucking moron. He reminds me of some of the people I see on this board and others whose social views are so tinted and skewed it's ridiculous.

except he was one of the most revolutionary thinkers and poets of his time. nabokov had nothing to say but platitudes and random pretentious musings about power ranking writers randomly thrown in his writings. but he exemplifies normative style, so he's accepted.

marx created an all-encompassing system that completely exposed all social relations for what they really are.

fuck off.

>completely exposed all social relations for what they really are.

Good joke dude. You can't get a room full of people to agree on pizza toppings, how do you expect them to all simultaneously co-run a political ecosystem? That's retardedly simplistic. Humans have a sense of individuality that fights those ideals. We're not ants with a hivemind.

He was a loser who hated capitalism because he couldn't handle saving money. He pawned his clothes and family heirloom for chump change, and that's obviously the pawnbrokers fault.

and he wrote some of the most beautiful novels of the twentieth century.

the fact is, once those relations are exposed for what they are, we can never go back. that is the problem with modernism. marx didn't really propose a solution or any course of action, nor is that the intellectual's job to tell people what to do.

>>6545964
he didnt hate capitalism if you've actually read him. he praises it greatly.

Is Marx considered part of the literary canon?

>> No.6546463

>>6546438
Depends on what sort of canon you're talking about. Literary canons, such as Bloom's, tend to be mainly focused on narrative works. But if you use a broader method of selection, such as Adler's, he's obviously included.
