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

    Nothing in that implies what you’re accusing me of

            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.

                Me:

                You:

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

                Please, enlighten me how I said that

                  Is this a fucking joke? Your own quote there shows you claiming he just wrote down whatever he thought would prove his already decided conclusion, and didn’t bother to think about it properly.

                  I can’t deal with your trash.
