THE YOUNG KARL MARX

I find it fascinating that movies are made in the fashion that Europeans live, in a multi-linguistic environment. This film had the main characters speaking French, English and German, like Marx and Engels would have.

I will review it later, and tell you a funny story about their statues in Berlin, but for now, I just wanted to transmit these two ideas.

One was that they joined, and seemingly took over, The League of the Just.

Second is a quote that is spoken in french, but translates as:

Criticism devours everything that exists, and when there is nothing left, it devours itself.

Thoughtful ideas all around, and I have now a clearer picture of how Engels got involved, and how some causes are most difficult for those who don't suffer from it, but for not having it. A kind of survivors guilt, I guess.
