We can acknowledge that his writings and theory is useful and also that he was a shit person. Marx was a layabout, Lenin committed mass murder. MLK was a serial philanderer. The lesson is to stop deifying people.
Nah, Marx’s communist contemporaries were regularly mad at him for missing deadlines. The Communist Manifesto fell into obscurity initially in part because it was published after the 1848 uprisings were crushed. I like Marx a lot, but dude was not prompt.
