      Don’t try and lie so blatantly. I directly responded to your implication that Marx just wasn’t thinking about things clearly.

        In my opinion, Marx wrote his conclusion first, then cherry picked the points in history that supported his conclusion.

                Why shouldn’t I? I stand by my original point and you’ve done nothing to rebut it

                  You can claim I haven’t, but anyone with a brain can see my original response and see that I in fact have.

                    You:

                    I can’t fathom the arrogance of people who say “Marx just didn’t think of x, y or z”
