Karl Marx is known for a lot of things — accumulating vast sums of wealth certainly isn’t one of them. The philosophy he helped popularize is actually antithetical to the concept of money on principle. Some would even go as far to say that it’s also antithetical to eating food every day, but enough about Venezuela…
Marx was, in a lot of ways, the original snowflake. The man never held a real, laborious, paying job in his life, but we’re supposed to think that his revolutionary idea of stealing stuff from rich people was hugely transformative for the working class. Well, in that respect that’s sort of true. Under Marxian socialism, working people tend to go from being reasonably able to feed themselves and their families to being forced to steal zoo animals for food.
We’re sorry…we keep talking about Venzuela by accident. Or, was that the Soviet Union? Or Cuba? Or North Korea?
Socialism really doesn’t have the best track record…
Either way, the idea of turning Karl Marx’s face into a money bank is just too good to pass up. The best part about this is that if the man were still alive today, he would lament the image as insulting. Then again, people who visit his grave have to pay a fee to get in, so perhaps he wouldn’t have too much of a problem with it.
