I have seen this take several times but I've never gotten any additional information about how they came to that conclusion. Has anyone gotten an actual answer?
Presumably it's some sort of racial essentialism in the vein of "Marx was a white European, white Europeans are colonizers, therefore Marx was a colonizer"
Whether this person actually buys into racial essentialism or is just rage-baiting to own the libs is harder to guess.
We're jews even "white" in mid 19th century Europe?
No, but I don't know how many people realize Marx was Jewish.
Various groups of Jews took over the Catholic Church of Poland to expell their fellow Jews out of Poland; that would be tough to do if you're not a member of the ruling class.
I’ve never seen a person I’d take seriously say a thing like this. Imagine the look on Nelson Mandela’s face if you told him Marx was a colonizer.
dude never even left europe. like he did say racist shit but what exactly is a colonizer vs saying racist shit? or is this like, nazis saying marx was jewish and jews colonized europe? or maybe its a take against the idea that colonization was historically progressive as europeans introduced capitalism which is considered more progressive than feudalism?
Honestly I think it’s a six degrees of separation thing where the USSR annexing the Baltics and China annexing Tibet is “colonizing” and they were influenced by Marx so ergo Marx is a colonizer.
I think he found inspiration in some Iroquois political economy stuff is the underlying argument
To take that to 'colonizer' can only be done in a land as illiterate as this one
It's that through Morgan's work on ancient familial structures that Engles discusses in Origin of The Family, Private Property, and The State?
My understanding is that, while a lot of the nitty gritty details have since been shown to be wrong, that the general outline still more or less holds
exactly that
Where'd he colonize?
My ovaries
I hope it was more consensual than the standard issue colonization. Lol
he moved from germany to the UK, didnt he? there it is. he colonized the UK!
Karlito colonized my heart 
i have a crush on him 😛
He was a crackkker. That much is true. But he was aight all things considered.
Incredible take on Marx tbh
I don't know what it is about these phone selfie videos people take in their car, but without exception it seems to be some of the dumbest takes imaginable.
I could think of a take to bait people on here for a million years and never come up with this
This guy has tons. He popped up on my feed a while ago. Pure
