Marx was a materialist, similar to Bill Gates. They can't hold a candle
to Apolonius of Tyana, Numenius of Apameia, Marcion of Sinope, Satornile, 
Manichaius, Aquilinius, Euphrates, Carpocrates, and Julius Cassianus on top
of all, who knew all by means of divine intuition that materialism and 
capitalism are evil to the core.
