... I'm not going to get into the comment about Marx, the idea that his work is philosophically enlightening is silly.
Why you shouldn't dismiss Marx is because his teachings show us how to make the free market work and eliminate monopolies the tool of greed that screws up the free market.
you folks should actually
read some Marx before being qualified of an opinion. Not that I agree with most of his work, but when I see ignorant comments like this, like the blind talking about colors, I can't help but wonder why many people seem to need a simplistic strawboogeyman to assert their equally simplistic position.
