Your pet Darwin was a fraud! Here is love note to marx from your pet:

Dear Sir:
I thank you for the honour which you have done me by sending me your great work on Capital; & I heartily wish that I was more worthy to receive it, by understanding more of the deep and important subject of political Economy. Though our studies have been so different, I believe that we both earnestly desire the extension of Knowledge, & that this is in the long run sure to add to the happiness of Mankind.
I remain, Dear Sir
Yours faithfully,
Charles Darwin
Letter from Charles Darwin to Karl Marx
October, 1873

Darwin never read any Marx. Marx sent him the book, and Darwin sent him a thank you note, in the usual Victorian florid style. The book was still in his library, uncut.

Here is love note to marx from your pet:

A few lines from Darwin to Marx, in an age when there were no telephones or e-mail and all communication was written, is about the same importance as "kiss my arse".

They lived in the same time period, in the same country.

And besides, the science of evolution has progressed light years beyond where it was in Darwin's time. He just get's his name on the theory for credit.

While Marx's theories on communism are virtually dead and gone.

Your pet Darwin was a fraud! Here is love note to marx from your pet...

Darwin's 'thank you' note to Marx was the standard academic courtesy note; he thanks Marx for having sent him a complimentary copy of Das Kapital. Darwin also confesses to not being an economist, thereby absolving himself of any responsibility for judging the correctness or incorrectness of Marx's views. Clever guy, that Darwin.

Darwin said THAT to Marx?? He said THAT?

Wow!

Here's a quote from Voltaire: "Merci beaucoup!"
