    By contrast, Marx, who is often presented as an isolated intellectual, was a rowdy, argumentative, funny, passionate person who once declared that his favorite saying was the maxim: “I am a human being, I consider nothing that is human alien to me.”

this whitewashing idolization of Marx is fuckin annoying. Marx was a gigantic asshole to large sectors of humanity.

"What?" indeed. All those gigantic assholes around, and minimum_wage goes and picks the guy who spent his life trying to figure out how to make life decent for all of humanity. Which I wasn't expecting at all from this poster. Strange.

Ignorance is a bliss, but ignorance of one's own ignorance is not.

I think it's from a McCarthy quote, perhaps. ;)
