HAHAHAHAH. That's so funny. So witty. Almost Swiftian in its subltety. This guy is like, the Noel Coward of photoshop, the Aristophanes of the meme. I love how like, the resolution of the random screengrab is juxtaposed against the murkiness of the penguin classics border. Like he's drawing attention to the transient nature of the penguin classics range, in comparison to the almost eternal relevance of dreamwork's masterpiece.
And then there's the irony! the fact that 150 years on Marx's work is still being published, still being read yet bee movie came out like 5 years ago and I had to google the image to know what it was from. And I've seen the fcking film! There I was thinking Marx was one of the greatest economists and philosophers of his age, but this meme has showed me how stupid I've been. I always thought they were just for morons - the kind of people who need three other imbeciles to tell them if something's funny or not, but this definitely bucks that trend. I was actually going to read Capital again, and make my own decisions, thank god you saved me the effort

Didn't know we had communists on here.

Not especially. But genius is genius regardless of your politics and Marx was a stone cold genius. People should respect that.

He was good at deceiving people into thinking that communism is actually a good thing. If he was purposely trying to deceive people then I can admit he was brilliant, but if he genuinely thought communism was a good idea then he was pretty dumb. We'll never know, because he's dead, and I'm glad he is. His ideology has poisoned and corrupted every single society to this day.

In all fairness, Marxists have given Marx a pretty bad name. I don't think any reasonable person would doubt his intelligence, though. Well, except for the great majority who have never actually read Marx, that is.
