Oh sure Sowell can beat the crap out of Karl, but what about Groucho? He was the Marx with the best quotes:

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

I could go on.

Pretty good essay...BUT...yes, there is always a but. I think that Marx against a contemporary of his period would have been better. Someone who never was a Marxist in the first place. I have highlighted his work in https://www.courageouslion.us/p/the-law-2024 That man wrote his pamphlet in 1850 while Marx wrote his in 1848. I suspect that Frederic Bastiat may have possibly read Marx and possibly it was that influence that drove him to write "The Law".
