If a tree falls on the grave of dead communists and Sodomites, and no one hears it, does it make a sound?

Was he a Marx brother?

They’re both rotting in hell so I’m not concerned.

“...Some entertainer is considered a more significant historical figure than Karl Marx...?”

Indeed.
Love him or hate him, Marx is considered the third-most influential man, who ever lived, after Jesus and Muhammad.

Marx is easy. Just dig him up and throw in the nearest cesspool.

People urinating on his grave may have killed the trees

Yeah, I did not know Carl Marx was buried in London, but I wish I did because I’ve been in that city myself, and I’ve spent some evenings there with a pretty full bladder which I would’ve loved to of rectified on his headstone

Marx was a bigger POS though. His body ought to be dug up, put through a woodchipper, and tossed down the sewer for the misery he brought to untold millions with his toxic ideology.

He seems to have been a pretty nasty human being. He was smart though--he had a Ph.D. from a German university which was somewhat more demanding than getting an Ed.D. from the University of Delaware. Whether he would have endorsed everything done in his name by the truly evil geniuses of the 20th century like Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot is uncertain.

The world would be a better place if when the name Marx was mentioned, people only thought of Groucho, Harpo and Chico. Get your tutti frutti ice cream!

Marx ponced off his friend Frederich Engels for years because he was too lazy to work to support himself, and even Engels was only wealthy because his dad owned factories in Manchester.

He also neglected his wife and kids and got his maid pregnant, and expressed views on race that the self confessed Marxist fanboys of BLM would find, er ‘problematic’.

He was an absolute dungheap of a man.

To be fair, the University he got that Ph.D. from was notorious for handing out Ph.D.s like candy, so it’s debatable how much of that was actually him being smart or not, at best.

I hadn't heard that about his university. Of course candy was more expensive then.

A lot of 19th-century German dissertations were written in Latin--don't know about Karl's.
