I once criticized the writing style of Marx and co and got dogpiled so fast in a commie server.

Might as well say heil seilig if you're gonna treat their word as gospel.

I agree with that.

I found some of his ideas really interesting but he speaks in an annoying way. All of his ancient writers do tbh. They're a pain to read. If someone wants to read something that's to-the-point, they are NOT the books to read.
