What if Marx was actually the biggest troll in history and exactly planned the entire impact of of his writings on the 20th century just to fuck with people?
Marx applied a rigorous critique to classical political economy, by following its basic concepts to their logical conclusion, and went from there. This was achieved by studying Smith, Ricardo & gang for years when he realized philosophy wasn't good enough to comprehend human society. I guess being a scholar is now trolling.
