MARX THOUGHT WAR WAS A HEALTHY INFLUENCE
Marx, Engels, “The Boring War”, 1854:
“Even with Europe in decay, still a war should have roused the healthy elements; a war should have awakened a lot of hidden powers, and surely so much energy would have been present among 250 million people that at least a respectable battle would have occurred, in which both parties could have reaped some honor, as much honor as courage and bravery can gain on the battlefield.”
MARX BELIEVED IN BLOODSHED
Interview with Karl Marx, Chicago Tribune, January 5 1879:
"Well, then, to carry out the principles of socialism do its believers advocate assassination and bloodshed?" "No great movement," Karl answered, "has ever been inaugurated Without Bloodshed."
