    2. He believed revolution would be needed to effect the change, he never talked about permenant revolution. Marx hated oppressive authoritarianism. He simply miscalculated the perpetual ignorance and delusion people possess. All of us.

    4. Marx never talked about "the dictatorship of the proletariat?" He was anti-authoritarian. Who knew?

      Oh wait, it was merely a 'temporary' condition required before the Eschaton.... like the anti-Christ.
