Did you ever really read Marx?
To me Francis Fukuyama 15 years ago sounds much much older than Marx 150 years ago. That Marx, who once stated: "I'm not a marxist".
I'm 100% sure that Marx wanted to be studied to correct him and there's no reason for noone, except idiots, to defend him or any of his research as a kind of bible. But putting this aside, I couldn't think of any other philosopher of the 19th century, who's still that current. Even if you just read the communist manifest today, which was a popular and not a scientific work of Marx even then, it's somehow frightening, how up to date it still is.

I like to turn the whole thing upside down: it's embarrassing for the so-called economic-science - and even more so philosophy nowadays - that Marx is still so up to date.

What you write about "natural movements", "Agragarian Utopias" and "Dictatorships" has nearly nothing to do with Marxism.

But you secret knowledge about Nietzsche and Idealism is simply too much for me to take.

"Was she told when she was young
that pain would lead to pleasure
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
to earn his day of leisure?
Will FDRrocks still believe it when he's dead
Ah, FDRrocks, FDRrocks, FDRrocks
FDRrocks"

Wladmir Uljanow Lennon
