"You say, "Darwin WASN'T a like-minded thinker" "

He wasn't. They had almost nothing in common intellectually speaking.

"Marx considereed his theories an evolution in the world of capital which paralleled evolutionary theories in the natural world, thus the accolades for Darwin, a like-minded thinker."

Darwin was a free-market, antislavery whig.


Now, if you are not going to provide any specifics as to HOW Darwin influenced Marx 11 years before Darwin even published, or in what way Marx changed his ideas because he read Darwin, then don't ping me again. Your evasions are annoying.

Don't be obnoxious. You have been pinging me. And don't be disingenuous...I don't need to tell you about anything which happened before Darwin was published. Just because two people write at different times does not mean they do not have similar ideas. And that these 2 men did is pointed out by Marx himself. If you choose to guess Marx's motives as only wanting prestige from the relationship that's up to you.

I have not evaded anything and pointed out a similarity of ideas from the 2 theories in my previous post. I would appreciate you not pinging me again as you say the same things over and over again. Thanks.
