Top Marx? (In a Pigs eye)

In a radio four poll of top philosophers Marx has been voted the winner amidst competition from Aristotle Kant etc. What a surprise from BBC listeners who have been indoctrinated with sub Marxist BBC agendas for the longest time!

The wretched man was not even a philosopher but a polemicist who used journalistic hyperbole and pseudo science to 'prove' his ridiculous theories in turgid volumes which only a handful have actually read in their entirety but millions have paid lip service to with devastating results for mankind leading to the deaths of hundreds of millions in the last century.

One fears for the sanity of radio four listeners that they could vote for this monster who throughout his miserble life was a social parasite living at the expense of his friend Engels and thought nothing of concocting statistics and distorting evidence to legitimise his theories. The man spent most of his life surrounded by books and had very little if no contact with the working people he profesed to champion.

Close by his tomb in Highgate Cemetry in London is the tomb of a real philosopher and Marx contemporary who whilst not having the universal influence of the latter was far more grounded in reality and his name was Herbert Spencer. Radio four listeners could improve their minds with a slim volume of his entitled Man Versus the State -they are in sore need of it.
