I don't even know where to start with this one... did whoever write this article actually read Capital (or any of Marx's works), or is she paraphrasing Wikipedia?

Really, opium was a good thing? That's weird. I thought that statement would imply that religion is a drug that desensitizes people... (In Marx's opinion, of course) I don't know too much about this guy, but from what I've seen, he looks kind of um... whacked. Mskreuz 12:58, 28 June 2007 (EDT)

Sociologist?

Rob, why do you have a problem with categorizing Marx as a socilogist? Capital goes beyond being an analysis of political economy to an examination of the sociological effects (as Marx understood them) of that political economy. Please discuss. Claude 17:16, 6 December 2007 (EST)

So, Is this the "poor Marx, he was misunderstood by mass murderers" school of logic? We can save ourselves a lot of time and trouble right now. Rob Smith 17:38, 6 December 2007 (EST)

No, it's not - in fact, you can read my comments on that subject on the Main Page talk page, where I clearly disavow those sorts of apologetics. What I'm saying is that one cannot ignore the fact that Marx's work had huge impacts on several fields - 18th Bruimaire is a key historical text, for example - just because one (rightfully) holds communism in low regard.
