| [222] Camera: An Ugly Rumor I am wondering if anyone has studied Karl Marx in a more sociological setting. What type of person is he? What could drive a man to be (as it seems) so absorbed in the bourgeoise/proletariate state of capitalism? Did he have a bad childhood experience; maybe some other kid down the street had more lincoln logs than he? I am very curious to know what his driving force is. I would like to know what Freud would think of a man like he. |
| Perhaps I am getting a false impression of him. I only know him from what he writes. It is possible that he could write so passionately about the subject of capitalism without being totally absorbed by it; it just doesn't seem probable. |
| I would like to be more familiar with the environmental influences Marx was subject to. Where did he grow up? What exact time period? What was going on economically, socially, at the time? I'm sure this played an important part of why he feels the way he does about capitalism. |
| When I mentioned this class to a friend of mine, he replied,“Isn't that the guy who was so absorbed in his work he let his children starve to death?” Is there any truth to this rumor? |
