Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
Among Marx’s best-known texts are the “The Communist Manifesto” and the three-volume “Das Kapital”, in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.
Marx’s political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.
Marx’s critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.
Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

Why are pepper plants like the fainting goat of the plant world?
Like, not enough water, or too much water, or looking at it wrong, and it’s just like AIGHT, BET, I’M OUT and it drops all its leaves off
Like they just kill themselves, like, the leaves just autolyze at the base and fall
I am assuming it’s an adaptation to reduce water loss but like, my plant in christ, you need those fucking leaves!
Lately it been warm enough to go outside at night, which is nice since I like to star gaze. So it’s nice to start to be able to do that again without getting cold.
But it makes me miss my dog more, cw: grief
Since I would bring my dog outside with me, and this summer just going to be different without him. I can’t help but think how easy it was to lose track of him since he was a walking void, if it wasn’t for his white star on his chest, you wouldn’t notice him in the dark.
and then this grief is making me think of my mom to, doesn’t help it’s mother day as well. I guess right now it just one of those moments where all that stuff just comes back.
It also just makes me wonder what am I even doing anymore. Why am I here?
mental health stuff cw: depression, suicide
and why can’t things just finally end. It would be nice for things to just end, but they won’t. I don’t really want to be here. I’m really tired. I really would like to think there just some sort of reason why I just have to keep being here, even if I don’t really want to be at times. Yet if there was, things just feel unbearable, especially with lately just feeling like no one really cares about me besides my dad or my grandma.
just I dunno, I just hope something changes. well that not true, lots of things have changed, and things are always changing, albeit slowly. so maybe this won’t be forever or I hope so.
I remembred someone said they preferred female corrin because apparently being naive and stupid is more tolerateable for women.

I don’t mind grafitti but I really wish they would do something besides writing their tags 90 times.
Edit: Grafitti is art. And it can therefore be critiqued as bad art.
Cat I’m taking care of won’t stop peeing on things :(
Tom Cruise is crazy, but not in any of the ways people think he is.
