Diary

Marx and Dickens

The thing about Karl Marx is, he was right about the suffering of factory workers, he was right about the misery of crowded industrial cities, he was right about how the rich oppressed the poor.

Much in the same way that Charles Dickens was right about all those things, although Marx and Dickens proposed very different solutions to the problems of the world, as likewise did their successors, admirers, and imitators.
