Why Dont The Left Care Marx Had Views They Now Abhor?

//Why don't the Left care that Karl Marx was a vicious racist when they love to cancel other dead white male philosophers. //

An interesting article that I am sure will generate some debate. I'd be interested in the view of the more trendy left wingers on here.

the left love communism but for the masses not themselves. Look at the Soviet union for example. The masses are queueing for a loaf of bread whilst the "party" members live like capitalists. It is essentially the ultimate hypocrisy. Similarly left wingers up and down the country live like Tories but spout lefty cobras.

Karl, the least funny of the Marx Brothers, I always thought.
Well, he never ME laugh.

I don't think there are many Marxists on AB of all places so I doubt you'll get much of a debate.
