Karl Marx: Monument vandalised for second time in two weeks

16 February 2019

Karl Marx's memorial in north London has been vandalised for the second time in two weeks.

The words "Doctrine of Hate" and "Architect of Genocide" are scrawled in red on the Grade I-listed grave in Highgate Cemetery.

This latest incident follows a "deliberate and sustained" hammer attack on 4 February that left the memorial badly damaged.

There have been no arrests in connection with either attack.

Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust said the German philosopher's memorial would "never be the same again" following the earlier attack.

3. When will the idiots learn that communism never took place the way Marx predicted.

His theories were distorted by Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin. Later by Mao.

Its like blaming the bible for all the established religions' atrocities

4. That's because his theories were totally wrong.

Too many people think that his laying out the problems of class was what he was known for. He was not the first by any means to postulate the problems of radical capitalism and his description was corrrect.

It was his solutions which do not work.

Europe has proven that strong social democracy is the best moderator of capitalism.

Common ownership of the means of production, which was his prediction does not work.

5. That is the same crap we hear over and over from extremists.

"We have never had True Communism, so how do you know it does not work?"

"We have never had True Libertarianism,, so how do you know it does not work?"
