Jennychen Says
"It absurd to make a cult of any ism."
Jennychen Marx, daughter of Karl Marx
Step aside, Time Magazine. 'Love and Capital' by Mary Gabriel is, without a doubt, the BOOK OF THE YEAR.
709 pages of pure excellence!

Victor Hugo's description of Fulgencio Batista's coup d'etat 101 years before it happened in Cuba
On December 2, 1851 Luis Napoleon, nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, staged a coup d'etat in France and officially closed the book on the uprisings of 1848, [the year when Karl Marx had published in London his Manifesto of the Communist Party.]
Luis Napoleon, backed by the Army, effectively tore up the constitution of France's Second Republic, dissolved the National Assembly, and proclaimed himself president for life.
Victor Hugo's words describing the tragic event : “In one night liberty was struck down by a hand sworn to support it, the inviolability of the law, the rights of the citizens, the dignity of the magistrate, the honor of the soldier all disappeared and there arose the despotism of a personal government founded on the saber, perjury, murder and assassination.”
On March 10, 1952, US-supported puppet, Fulgencio Batista, did the same in Cuba.

Gabriel's book is highly recommended. It describes the tragic lives of Karl and Jenny Marx. It is 709 pages long and it deserves to be in any history-buff library.

Karl Marx Says
"In politics a man may ally himself with the devil himself -- only he must be sure that he is cheating the devil instead of the devil cheating him."
That may explain the infatuation of Fidel and Raul Castro with Barack Obama. Despite what Marx said, one must remember that if you get too close to your enemy, he may stick a knife in your back. That happened to Cesar Augusto Sandino.
