apparently a German Bank released a Karl Marx credit card
some of the best taglines:
"There are some things money can't buy. Especially if you abolish all private property. [URL="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23marxcard"]#marxcard[/URL]"
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. For everything else, there's [URL="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23marxcard"]#marxcard[/URL]"
"the only card for Internationale travel [URL="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23marxcard"]#marxcard[/URL]"
let the puns begin.
Marxcard: We put the "u" in Communism.
Marx's theories weren't Communism you nincompoop. Stalin adapted the theories to make Communism, Marx was the creator of [b]Marxism[/b].

excuse me but who wrote the "communist manifesto"
stalin created stalinism
reminds me of this
[quote="Lenin in state and revolution"]What is now happening to Marx's theory has, in the course of history, happened repeatedly to the theories of revolutionary thinkers and leaders of oppressed classes fighting for emancipation. During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.[/quote]
Che's on t-shirts everywhere, Stalin's an icon for a strong nation, liberals think lenin and trotsky were nice, cool, noble, or whatever, and former warsaw pact countries have people selling old eastern bloc memorabilia (flags, uniforms, etc).
Why this happens I don't know.

otherwise you're right, the idea of communism is an extension (and part) of marxist thinking

congratulations you ruined the thread in 2 posts flat
Putting Karl Marx on a Credit card is just so wrong. I like Marx but the banks today are not what Marx wanted at all
Marxcard; For when you're short of kapital.
now Das Kapital!
Iunno, I can't really complain because I make money of images of revolutionary leaders (only because Zazzle forces you to collect a 10% royalty on your products), but this is entirely backwards and really almost disrespectful. It's almost like putting Jesus on some Church of Satan shirt or something. I don't know.
perfect for your gambling addiction

Actually the Sparkasse bank is one of the better banks. They aren't greedy as fuck and actually care for their customers a little bit.
They also have a building in every teeny tiny town, they're basically everywhere.

"I am not a Marxcard" #marxcard
its so postmodern even I don't understand it
It's a great purge for your interest rates.
