He was the son of a rich lawyer, I believe (a rich something, at least). He then married into a very aristocratic family (and would mistreat and neglect poor Mrs. Marx throughout their marriage). He got his funds from the wealthy manufacturer and only friend, Engels. He was a leech more than anything else, very suitable for a communist.
That looks about right. Marx, after getting out of college and before hooking up with Engels, had basically no job and never really looked for one, just worked for random radical newspapers, as a result 2 of his children died of stress and malnutrition and he was always extremely abusive and EXPLOITATIVE of those around him. After those (10?) years or so Marx met up with Engels and became wealthier than he was even at birth, at his death his wife was routinely holding parties for bourgeois members of society and they were living in the top 5% of English society. Engels was a factory owner whose workers were treated about as well as most others of the time period.
Marx was a disgusting man… And also an antisemitic descendant of a Jewish family (lol)
Also, as a proud member of the bourgeoisie I would like to say that I adore my PS3 and I happily spit upon the inferior second hand Xbox 360 and its proletarian owners… Most of whom are poor and being exploited in my factory as we speak, and cannot return to their wives and children in time to get any descent gaming time in… WAHAHAHA!!! (Readjusts monocle and pets puffy white cat which is sitting on my lap and then counts money out of his giant sack of the stuff)
I wonder how Engels justified his earning of profits from the sweat of his workers, or for that matter how Marx agreed to accept such “evil” money. Guess consistency was not their sharp sword…
