To the point
Well put, short and to the point.
I wanted to know enough about Marx.
But not wanting to spend hours on the subject.
Thanks

History Denier Channels Marx
Since Marx isn't around to defend himself against the dismal facts of history regarding his legacy, this dude takes up the banner and waves his little heart out. He takes every settled conclusion and asserts that, actually, it could be said, that the opposite is true.
This is a helpful exercise in exploring the psyche of a committed Marxist, but it is as painfully mind numbing as it sounds.
