What most people do not know is that Marx was a racist and an anti-Semite. ![]() Marx is a hero to many labor union leaders and civil rights organizations, including leftist groups like Black Lives Matter, antifa and some Democratic Party leaders. It is easy to be a Marxist if you know little of his life. Marx's predictions about capitalism and the "withering away of the state" turned out to be grossly wrong. Most people who call themselves Marxist have only read his 1848 pamphlet "The Communist Manifesto," which was written with Engels. Volumes II and III were later edited and published in his name by his friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels. Most people who call themselves Marxists know very little of Karl Marx's life and have never read his three-volume "Das Kapital." Volume I was published in 1867, the only volume published before Marx's death in 1883. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although Bishop wants to hire a discreet private detective with a strong sense of professional ethics, as Riordan says, It was his tough luck he happened to pick me.

And why? Because "advertisers are the west's courteous censors". They have done more to bring feminism to the female masses than any feminist periodical, she says, but "the formula must also include an element that contradicts and then undermines the overall pro-woman fare: in diet, skin care, and surgery features, it sells women the deadliest version of the beauty myth money can buy". Wolf argues that women's magazines have played a pivotal role in the selling of the beauty myth. (Men, as Wolf notes with some prescience, would be well advised to listen up: powerful industries have a vested interest in them feeling old and ugly too.) An "anti-ageing" cream, say, or a blouse very little different from the blouses they already have. Then big money makes an entrance, and it all gets nice and clear: women who feel old and ugly will buy things they do not need. Wolf uses the phrase "cultural conspiracy" it's hard to imagine exactly who the conspirators might be. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Pulitzer Committee originally tweeted that The Goldfish, a less flashy title for what would probably be a better book, had won, but made up for their mistake by describing the book as, “a beautifully written coming-of-age novel with exquisitely drawn characters that follows a grieving boy’s entanglement with a small famous painting that has eluded destruction, a book that stimulates the mind and touches the heart.” The reaction on Twitter was decidedly more mixed, which is unsurprising, considering that the book has been fairly divisive.
