On May 5th, 1818, Karl Marx, hero of the international proletatiat, was born. His revolution of Socialist theory reverberates throughout the world carries on to this day, in increasing magnitude. Every passing day, he is vindicated. His analysis of Capitalism, development of the theory of Scientific Socialism, and advancements on dialectics to become Dialectical Materialism, have all played a key role in the past century, and have remained ever-more relevant throughout.
He didn’t always rock his famous beard, when he was younger he was clean shaven!
Some significant works:
Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844
The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte
Critique of the Gotha Programme
Manifesto of the Communist Party (along with Engels)
And, of course, Capital Vol I-III

Because capitalism is not just markets?
Expand on that please
Capitalism is private ownership of the means of production, i.e. machines, land, factories, companies, capital. Capitalism doesn’t even need a free market. In practice it always tries to control the market in the form of regulatory capture, cartels, oligopolies, and monopolies, because they are more profitable.
Not without a dinner and a movie first!
Why are you guys so hostile to simple questions?
It was a joke. I for one got it and thought it was very funny.
I don’t feel I was particularly hostile.
Did you answer my questions, or just reply with snark?
My peep, why do you think you’re entitled to my time? Especially with statements like “Expand on that please”. Who do you think I am, your intern?
Sorry i forgot we’re in a no-discussuon zone
I forgive you.
