"Marx was a capitalist, he even wrote a book about it" - Elon Musk

I do not know enough about Marx by now to judge. But I would like to insert that it is kind of impossible to live and grow in a capitalistic society without being capitalistic. Even though it seems he wrote a book showing the perversions of Capitalism, influencing following generations. He might even had an impact to the working conditions of human beings which voices stay unheard in most cases.
However you would like to stigmatise him, its fine to me. To remember is just that he changed to world with his utopian ideas. To better or worse is subjective. But for that I think it is important to see what he had to say to the world.

Ya Caro, he did point out the legitimate problems with capitalism and how that isn't the endgame for economics, however his solutions were... Well at least he tried.
I just found the Elon Musk quote funny. I just saw that you're reading Marx and that's the first thing that popped in my head, I wasn't being as sombre as you think I was. We can discuss Marx once you're done reading him. Have fun :)
