The Left is trying to rehabilitate Karl Marx. Let´s remind them of the millions who died

I can´t quite believe that I´ve just sat through ten minutes of BBC television in which British journalists Owen Jones and Zoe Williams have defended Karl Marx as the prophet of the End of Capitalism. Unbelievable because I had thought Marxism was over with the fall of the Berlin Wall--when we discovered that socialism was one part bloodshed, one part farce. [Snip] Sixty-five million were murdered in China--starved, hounded to suicide, shot as class traitors. Twenty million in the USSR, 2 million in North Korea, 1.7 million in Africa. The nightmare of Cambodia (2 million dead) is especially vivid.

Honestly, we need to do a LOT more than that. We need to remind them that causing millions upon millions of deaths was Karl Marx’s plan all along. The entire reason why he formed Communism in the first place was specifically so he could re-enact the Reign of Terror that gripped France, and make it even MORE of a blood bath, as his correspondences made clear here: https://www.facebook.com/373757305985421/photos/a.373910375970114.102939.373757305985421/819295658098248/?type=1

Honestly, whoever said that those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it have obviously not conceived of someone like Marx who knew full well what history was like, yet specifically intended to reenact the disaster anyways.
