A Marxist site censors, er, Karl Marx, actually!

One doesn't usually visit Marxist sites for the laughs but David Osler's example nearly had me falling off my chair with hysterics.  It is a site worth visiting if only to realise that there are actually bigger loonies out there than the ones who run global warming sites.  Ostler's is packed with every sort of mouth-foamer you could imagine and, although they are all Marxists, it is obvious that they hate each other much more than they hate non-Marxists.  Anyway, the other day I was reading a review of a new biography of Karl Marx in The New York Review of Books and it contained this short quote from the man himself:

It is now completely clear to me, that, as proven by the shape of his head and
the growth of his hair, he [Lassalle] stems from the Negroes who joined the
march of Moses out of Egypt (if his mother or grandmother on his father’s side
did not mate with a nigger). Now this combination of Jewry and Germanism with
the negroid basic substance must bring forth a peculiar product. The pushiness
of this lad is also nigger-like.

Well, of course, me being me I couldn't wait to drop that one in their little Marxist laps but, dammit, I couldn't get it accepted by the site.  I tried again this morning but it still wouldn't go through.  Then the penny dropped, of course, it has the dreaded 'n'-word in it and even if it was penned by the great oracle himself there was no way that pathetic, latter-day Lefties could face it without the risk of fainting.  How Marx would have despaired and despised them all!  With disciples like that one almost (but definitely not quite) feels sorry for the evil old sod!

One "rabble-rouser" to another David - when attempting to insert a little rabble onto a site containing a PC Filter use our common language to advantage.

For example, 'over-here' many if not most use the word "reign" when they should've used "rein" - if you wish to insert a nigger into the intercourse use the very handy "g" (gnaw) - of course true loonies won't spot it out very quickly so you may have to wait until one of them denigrates your "mistake" at which point you let 'em in on the secret.

It ain't Hillbilly properly speaking - but 'techie-speaking' - close enough.

Remember David, in this modern world of our's - Spel-Chek is our friend.

Courtesy of that nice Mister Gates.

Thanks, JK, but in this particular case it was better to write 'n****r' because then everybody knows exactly what the word is and feels foolish for not daring spell it out.

I always liked these aspects of Marx's writing when I studied him at university. The Marxists there thought of him as being infallible, but he believed in phrenology as an exact science, and repeatedly said that black people could never have revolutionary potential because as a race they were insufficiently advanced. Most of the books of Marx's writings were, in those days, printed in the Soviet Union. The Russkies sold them dirt cheap because they thought, presumably, that flogging them to us would hasten the revolution; and the students bought them 'cos it was cheaper than the capitalist publishing houses. In these editions, the racist bits were missed out, funnily enough!

The best Marxists are still Groucho, Chico & Harpo.

'W', the irony in his writings selling well because they were cheap is too, too delicious!

Spot on, Andra!

Some ex Marxist lefty nigerians in this capitalist world seem to be doing well now. Although I concede it must pray on their conscience. Aye.

[David Duff]

Conscience? What conscience?
