But only one of them is linked.Xx236 (talk) 10:38, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Marx in GDR[edit]

Karl Marx was instrumentally used in many countries, especially in GDR, to legitimize the political system. de:Karl_Marx#Deutsche_Demokratische_Republik Xx236 (talk) 06:10, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

After the Nazi regime, the Commos thought that the best dude to influence the German people was a Jewish radical. Legitimisation to the max.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:29, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Berman[edit]

https://www.politico.eu/article/karl-marx-kapital-crimes-trier-controversy/ Xx236 (talk) 07:01, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

And? Who cares what the Vacuum Institute says? There was some inane controversy about public sculpture in a small German city called Tryhard. One of the world's most successful (post)-capitalist economies donated a statue of a British Jewish radical, Charles H. Marks. Some people on another continent blew off some steam. What's the big deal???--Jack Upland (talk) 08:26, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
