Karl Marx on Darwin:
"Darwin’s work is most important and suits my purpose in that it provides a basis in natural science for the historical class struggle.

Except that it doesn't. Marx was wrong. (Big surprise!)

If you think Marx was right, please explain HOW darwinian evolutionary theory "provides a basis in natural science for the historical class struggle".

Marx was wrong about his own beliefs? hahahaha

Yes, he was wrong that socialism is the way to go, but I don't think you are talking about that. I think you are trying to speak for Marx.

here are his own words again:
Karl Marx on Darwin:
"Darwin’s work is most important and suits my purpose in that it provides a basis in natural science for the historical class struggle. One does, of course, have to put up with the clumsy English style of argument. Despite all shortcomings, it is here that, for the first time, ‘teleology’ in natural science is not only dealt a mortal blow but its rational meaning is empirically explained."


Now are you going to try and tell us he didn't say that?
hmmm? Are you that desperate to defend evolution you would actually try to rewrite history in front of us all?
