Explanation: Karl Marx, the 19th century academic whose writings were immensely influential on the development of modern socialist thought, famously opined that philosophers had always interpreted the world - but the real task of a thinker is to change it! The humble wage laborer may have been ignored and scorned by innumerable others, both before and during Marx’s time, but Marx saw the importance of opposing the deep injustice in the exploitation of the proletariat - and all the power structures tied up in that system of oppression.

Mods, if this is too political for this comm, I totally understand if you prefer to remove it. I thought it borderline enough to merit taking the chance, since the meme itself isn’t particularly picking a bone with anyone, just making a (positive) joke about a historical philosopher and political thinker.

Yeah I don’t really see communism as a positive

Genuine question, what direction would you like to see society go towards? Even if it doesn’t have a label.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, if you have time.

You’re probably more opposed to the Bolsheviks (who seized power in Russia to become the USSR) than you are to communism, socialism, or Marxism (which are different but overlap)
