On the bicentenary of his birth, remember the millions of people who died at the hands of his adherents. Rot in hell Karl. #Marx200 pic.twitter.com/HbaH8Bis6D

#KarlMarx authorized any means necessary to establish communism. When those inevitably violent means are used to set up states that collapse after killing and enslaving millions, his apologists claim it just "wasn't real communism" and try again. #Marx200 pic.twitter.com/nQ76vvY0Oc

Did you see "Death of Stalin?" Soviet propaganda could not increase the productivity of communist workers to Western levels. To incentivize workers, communists had to resort to terror. In the long run, free economies tend to produce higher growth. https://t.co/VlzoJK8zAp pic.twitter.com/mcsxc8yy9K
