That's my point. It might not be his "fault" but it was the result he produced, throughout very different countries and even cultures. More death and suffering than any of the robber barons of industry ever did.

And if it's not his fault, the improvement in working conditions is also not his achievement. The weaver's uprising for instance happened without him preparing it intellectually, and so have countless protests against injustice before. And social security was introduced by Bismarck because of such unrests, not because Marx argued him into a corner.

I'll tell you one thing and I'm not ashamed to say it: my estimation of Karl Max as a man? Just fucking plummeted.
