KARL MARX LIVED IN
FILTH AND NEGLECTED HIS CHILDREN....AND FOUR OF THEM DIED!
WHEN AN EDUCATED MAN CHOOSES TO LIVE IN POVERTY, AND RAISE HIS CHILDREN IN POVERTY, THAT IS ABUSE.
When Marx and his wife and children were living in London, a
visitor wrote a description of their lifestyle in their 3-room flat.
Not only did the Marx children
have to endure the hunger of poverty, they were raised in filth, or what his
friend described as "a pig-sty".
There was not one good piece of
furniture in the flat. There was a chair with a leg missing, a sofa
"tattered and torn".
The table where Marx sat on his
backside to read and write was covered with pages of his writings, with
newspapers and books, his glasses, his inkstand and pen, and his pipe, as well
as dirty and chipped tea cups, dirty spoons, and whatever else someone dropped
there, such as some children's playthings and his wife's sewing.
Everything in his flat,
according to his friend, was dirty and covered with dust.
The flat was also in one of the
worst sections of London, where the rent was low.
Marx and his wife knew each
other as children and married when Marx was twenty-five, not so young in
those days of 1843. He would have been considered a grown man, mature and able
to assume the responsibilities of husband and father.
Both Marx and his wife came
from comfortable homes, hers more prominent. Her father was a Prussian Baron.
And she, Jenny, was an educated woman when she married Marx.
Together they had 7 children.
Four of those children died young. Only three survived to achieve adulthood.
Every biography of Marx reports
that his four children who died young died because of the poverty they had to
endure.
The Marx way of life has been
described as a hand-to-mouth existence, which generally means you don't know
where your next meal is coming from.
Marx occasionally wrote
articles for newspapers and he wrote his long papers and books full of his
philosophies about the 'struggle' of workers, but he never worked a day in his
life.
Instead, he sat in his pig-sty
and found all sorts of reasons he shouldn't work.
Mainly, he thought he was too
important to work.
Marx wrote that a slave needs a
master and the master needs a slave. And that opposites must be equaled. And
that a slave cannot be separated from his master.
Care to argue with that
nonsense?
I've known men like Marx.
They're just plain lazy. As he was. He didn't want to work, he wanted to sit in
the filth at his table and pretend to be thinking important thoughts.
Marx was also a hypocrite.
While he wrote with such sympathy for the men who worked in factories, calling
them slaves, the money he lived on, the charity he received from his friend
Friedrich Engels, came from the Engels family interest in a factory. So the
'slaves' were supporting the Marx family, while Marx sat and thought.
Watching his children go
hungry, seeing them live in filth, is neglect. It is abuse. There was no need
for it. He had an education and could have earned an income, and he knew where
he had come from, a comfortable life with his
parents. He could have provided for his family as his father had provided for
him, but obviously that was not important to him.
Karl Marx was not well known in
his lifetime. It was only a small circle of fellow Communists who knew who he
was by his writings.
An eighth child was born to
Marx, but not with his wife. It was an illegitimate child.
As it happened, Jenny, Karl's
wife, received an inheritance and so she hired a housekeeper to oversee their
better quarters. His eighth child was born to the housekeeper.
Marx tried to convince his wife
that the child had been fathered by his friend Engels, but she didn't believe
him. Let's add liar to his description.
Eventually, Marx admitted the
truth. The child was his son.
No one ever reported the
housekeeper's side of the story. Had she been a willing partner for Marx? Or
did he take advantage of her lowly position in his home? Personally, I think he
saw her as nothing but a servant and one he could 'have his way' with.
By any standard, Marx' life was
a failure, as a husband, as a father, as a provider.
His theory of Marxism has been
a failure, too. The Soviet Union failed dramatically. Cuba's people live in
poverty. And in North Korea the people truly are slaves to their Marxist
beloved leader.
Under Marxism, more than one
hundred million people have died, either from being murdered or from
starvation.
When a man in his selfishness
and laziness is willing to watch his own children die from the poverty he has
imposed on them, of course his philosophy will do the same to anyone forced to
endure it.
Marx abused his children, his
wife, his housekeeper, and Marxism continues to abuse everyone living under a
brutally uncaring Marxist government.
