Marx wrote a letter to Abraham Lincoln congratulating him and praising his fight against slavery

Can't believe that this clown, Peterson, is still around.
@BenitoAdolf Says:
Not only Marx but all those thinkers who later became ideologues of various ideas were all psychopaths, writing under the payroll of illuminati. All were scumbags...
@raymann9061 Says:
This is very misleading. He did not say "ni**er" in a racist sense, he said "neger" which has historically translated to negro or black. And note: the N word was a common term and was not as racist as it is today until it was used more as a derogatory term instead of a descriptive one.
@ecrille Says:
What are Paul Kengor's material interests? Who and what benefits from his argument that, basically, dialectical materialism is invalid based on the reasons he lays out here? And Peterson, what are his interests in relation to this medium and his audience? How much $ has Peterson made off of the attention of young disaffected men? What are the dangers to the ruling class as non-academics begin to warm to Marxism just as they have to Palestinian liberation?
@panickmanick Says:
How disgusting it is. No links, no quotes. And those who today are trying to find the percentage of DNA similarities with Neanderthals, are they Marxists, or what? that moron Peterson blamed the Communists for the deaths of 100 million people. As if he hung the blame for both world wars. Is it how impudent a self-confident bastard with a completely disregard for history should be?
@valmid5069 Says:
I still baffled by the likes of Dawkins (one of Jeff Epstein’s buddies) and Harris (who now realized militant Islam is a problem) etc for not discussing these quotes [“Religion is a species of mental disease….science is now in the process of destroying religious dogma” and “Karl Marx was the greatest of all theorists of socialism”] by fascist dictator Benito Mussolini
@LesterThompson-ji4mb Says:
Thanks for this cover of this Evil movement that has so much traction throughout the University's and schools !
You that this stupid man , has been debunked , but there are fans out there , despite the DEATH Toll , being worse than Adolf Hitler !
@Cicero-j6i Says:
yeah no. i love Lovecraft, but he was rascist. i love my granddad, even though i have heard him say the n-word a couple times. no shit he was rascist. everyone was. we cancel and critique people who are rascist NOW. everyone of you americans love ypur founding fathers, but almost all of them owned slaves. this is not seen as a problem (although slavery was wrong), because it was a product of their time. so the argument that marxist are like not understandig that is just idiotic. like you care that the founding fathers and the south whose flag you proudly display even though you are form like wisconsin was rascist. its fucking idiotic
@RealYoungLenin Says:
This is incredibly misleading. Marx's views on race were no different, if not more progressive, than most Europeans at the time. Churchill, 100 years later, called Indians "rabbits" who will breed no matter what, but Jordan likely won't criticize him.
@mozart12100 Says:
Carl Jung made worst comments about Black people, yet people continue to subscribe to his analysis. See Joseph Campbell, etc.
@Praseo59 Says:
You guys are aware this was the 1850's. That word was widely used back then, even by people who weren't necessarily racist. If you read Marx, you would know that he believed that race didn't matter.
@JeffersonGamez-s4p Says:
Marx was living in the 19th century. There is not Intellectual from back there that wasn't racist of some degree. Even the man himself who figure out we are all a family, Charles Darwin, was racist. But we build upon these men ideas, not simply criticize them with the mind of today.
@Flammablamablammablemmmm Says:
Marx exchanged letters with Lincoln, encouraging him in the fight against slavery. Is this guy gonna mention that? 😂
@Valuedrop123 Says:
Marx was actually anti slavery and he even sent a letter to Lincoln congratulating him for fighting against slavery
@annetteschulze3448 Says:
So, that cancels out his ideas and theories?
@01_SPACE_C0WB0Y Says:
And whats funny is this entire comment section doesn't even understand what Marx taught. Modern "marxists" have it completely wrong. He layed out a prediction for the natural progression of the global superstructure, and capitalism as the force that would carry it out. He didn't write some framework about "overthrowing capitalism"
@ComradeLiam Says:
Marx' not Marx's
@ComradeLiam Says:
Tell me you never read a letter between marx and engels without telling me that you never read a letter between marx and engels
@ademjrad9994 Says:
Lmao
@tomlatenite8348 Says:
Sounds like the modern day Republicans! They are highly racist people, then I want you to know it though, but how can you not know it?
@Daniel-w2q3v Says:
Ok, so everyone has at least some good qualities.
@michaelhertz8717 Says:
Anybody have a source for these letters?
@PassportBroPolice Says:
I'm sure rich wants Marx cancel 😂
He exposed the scam ....
Most rich people are racist too
@GHXX201 Says:
Stooping to such a low where the best people can do to try and dismiss Marxism is by saying that he used a vulgar word (which was common place during the industrial period) is so shameful. This critique does not challenge the substance of marxism as an economic theory and offers no basis for productive argument.
@salmansengul Says:
So Karl Marx wrote the German word "Neger" in the 1800s.
What a shocker. How the duck does this discredit his valid criticisms?
Edit: That word was pretty common for black people back in the day. Not only derogatory. It was just the word used to describe black people.
@Niaz_S Says:
“Marx’s view and the Marxist view are two different things” - random stranger, but helpful information when pseudo-intellectuals try to pull a fast one on you.

Tf is bro saying

now i love him even more❤
@burberguy5736 Says:
It's almost like it's an economic belief
@CaroRományoga Says:
They try and try but Marx ALWAYS will be reference in history
@gripti0n224 Says:
Who cares about Marx the person? People care about his ideas
@eddietheunggoyslayer3904 Says:
I think it's possible to be nuanced and use critical thinking to agree with some ideas and disagree with others.
@trevortimmer6804 Says:
The most racist guy you know calling marx racist
@justinm1200 Says:
So the founder of Marxism/communism was a racist and many Marxists/communists call themselves “anti-racist”

Source: trust me bro
@UniversalistSon9 Says:
Yeah he was from the 1800s, Lincoln was also kinda a racist and stuff, they were men of their times but they still had good progressive ideas
@superdankgod2266 Says:
Bruh who cares. His critique of capitalism is what matters.
@jolleyadventures7408 Says:
Carl Marx wondering what persentage black his daughter’s husband is instead of killing him upon their first kiss is night and day to many capitalist leaders.
@Boris_Medved Says:
My goodness a guy whose book was published in 1848 had views that are not acceptable now? Who knew?
Come on guys this was before the us civil war. The man wasn’t a saint. That doesn’t discredit everything he said.
@jaz4691 Says:
Well it wasn't actually spelled the way we might think. It was the German word for "negro" which is n-e-g-e-r and was the most respectful adjective available at the time. This is taking it out of context and wrapping it for the purpose of dismissing the writings and ideology and avoiding any meaningful discussion or understanding of the topic.
@dosphari Says:
Still gonna read Capital from Marx.
@obiwanjabroniX Says:
Source?
@TimiTiittanen Says:
But marx supported lincoln, the ending of slavery and freedom for all? So seems not stable and mayby his opinions changed alot
@Objohn Says:
African American leftist movements appear to be astonishingly ignorant to the history of their own orthodoxy. The conversion to Islam by many black revolutionaries appears absurd given the Arab slave trade. Revolting from one oppressor and aligning with a greater oppressor makes no sense. Aligning with the ideology Marx, a rabid anti black racist, also makes no sense unless ignorance is a key factor
@Itisbeejoe Says:
This professor just said "I GUESS he's cuban to SOME DEGREE"
@veicento Says:
this is a strawman anda double standard. not too long ago. "negro", and even "nigger" were considered the proper and most common way to refer to a black person in the english speaking world.with, or without ill intent
@stephenalexander6721 Says:
People on the left will find a way around that. It probably won't make any sense, but they will believe it.
@3reHYeager Says:
Lmfao "people should know Marx's view on race" and then points out the times when Marx used the word not when he actually talked about slavery, it wasn't even deemed as a slur when he wrote those letters. Making personal attacks when you can't quote him right or even disprove his theories is classic propaganda

Henry ford was a massive antisemite. Why are you all riding cars from the production line?
