“But maybe if I read Marx’s words backwards (like a John Lennon record) I can find where he’s inciting our proletariat to rise up against their ruling classes?”
Gosh. Maybe he was cleverly hiding his beliefs from his American publishers.
Sneaky guy, that Karl Marx, hiding his ideas in his Communist Manifesto published in English in London in 1848.
Maybe those expatriate ‘48er radicals who emigrated to the US and who knew Marx personally kept his past hidden when they helped found the GOP. Ya just never know. The conspiracy could have been huge.
So maybe you can find where Marx was preaching Hegelian dialectics, class warfare and dictatorship-of-the-proletariats to 1850s Americans?
I haven't seen it.
