So you agree that Marx and Engels were racist and rescind your point “I read a lot of Marx and Engels, who wrote at a similar time, and they don't sound racist?”


Never agreed to such nonsense.

I seize upon what I find interesting and leave the rest to dry.


So you don’t think Marx and Engels are racist? That’s interesting, would you expand on why?

I can’t think of a reason why people would write n-word used in a diminutive and insulting manner and not be racist. And it’s really common too. Not just a single instance but many times and seems like it was in their regular vernacular.
