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

The Civil War in France

Wage Labor & Capital

Wages, Price, and Profit

Critique of the Gotha Programme

Manifesto of the Communist Party (along with Engels)

The Poverty of Philosophy

And, of course, Capital Vol I-III

Good meme but terrible martial arts. Never try to catch a punch.

This comment is like telling Superman not to lift with his back.

I didn't make the meme, so 🤷

Just wrote the description.

It's from Invincible and the guy's a superhero, so maybe superheroes can catch punches.

I'd hope so, if they existed, haha.

If they existed it would be The Boys style super"heros". So I don't know, I'd kinda prefer they didn't know how to catch a punch.
