I may be an anarchist, but I can admit Marx has some banger quotes.

I tend to consider him right in basically all his criticisms, misguided in formulating the solutions.

Presumably he ran into the trouble a lot of generous, intelligent, and honest people have, they assume everyone is basically like them other than circumstance and stress.

And, obviously you can trust a fellow socialist to run the vanguard states, right?

They get it. Heirarchy bad, racism bad, sexism bad, he's been over this!

Or perhaps he was simply, like everyone, merely a product of his time. The workers of his day were barely literate, every state other than America and France (depending on what exact year we're talking) were absolute monarchies, etc etc etc.

"We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror."

Correct. The monarchies and oligarchs have it coming.
