I would be a marxist even if the man himself was a poor fuck with warts on his cock

If he were a worm, he'd be a silk worm, as silk has similar usage to linen

How would Marx write Capital if he was a worm?

Cover himself in ink and crawl along the page in cursive

Flat out no, are you serious?

I’d tell people I’m a Marxist and what would they say, that I take my political opinions from a fucking worm? Any semblance of credibility I have would be gone.

People would be like, ‘You think capitalism makes no sense because your little worm told you’ and everyone would laugh. Shit, I’d question everything, whether dialectical materialism is even valid…BECAUSE IT WAS PROPOSED BY A WORM

YES

The Worm loves us. It will always love us, and thus it always has. It winds around the hot heart of our home star. It winds around every infinitesimal loop of genetic information. It provokes a shuddering series of cataclysms in the planetary crust of our home, but when our star grows cold, that cataclysm will warm us. We understand so much more. We will always be what we were going to be, wound tight in the love of the Worm.

I don't know about a worm, but I think we would all be safer if Marx were a bear.

Marx would never be a gusano, how dare you?

Marx would never be a gusano, this hypothetical is contradictory

100% literacy is impossible on a genetic level because some people are born handless.

he would be the cutest wor- no wait wrong card.

Yes heart-sickle

Yes, if he was like one of the worms from the hit Worms video game franchise and dropped a Concrete Donkey on capitalism.

Unfortunately, this would have to replace the Internationale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0RlZsE3o6E
