Karl Marx was evil. You can feel free to disagree with me, but as far as I'm concerned his abusive attitude toward his wife, children, and personal hygiene are completely disgusting. He was greedy, lazy, and foul (in so many senses of the word) but he did have a knack for expression. Despite being despicable, he did, sometimes, phrase things nicely.
I particularly like this quote:
"Those without heritage are easily persuaded."
It is almost menacing, as if he was thinking of manipulating you, (shocking) I think it is also true.
If a person is unwilling to claim a past, they have no roots, no way to stay grounded and (forgive the trite metaphor) may easily be blown about in the storm of ideas.
So, if at all possible, know your history and be an Oak instead of a Palm-tree
