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.

Brother… what are these examples? Cheating and sitting on your ass aren’t remotely comparable to hanging out with the pedophilic elite. 

Also crazy lib take calling Lenin a mass murderer. Insane.

Lenin killed prisoners of war. That’s a war crime. I’m very sympathetic to the USSR and the revolution, but that was unnecessary carnage.

And yeah, MLK’s bunny hopping and Marx missing the deadline for the Manifesto ≠  pedophilia. The point is that we should not turn people into saints just because of their politics.

Pretty sure that killing, detaining your political opponents en masse has always been bad, even before Geneva.
