Karl Marx, the outrageous lion, a weakling in some way in my mind, had an adulterous affair with his maid, who was brought to his house when he married Jenny.
Citing this man's idea demonstrates either you're ignorant or hypocritical.
"Karl Marx, the outrageous lion (a weakling in some way in my mind), had an adulterous affair with his maid who was brought to his house when he married Jenny."
This is how I would phrase it.
I know that this is not connected with the grammar of the piece, which may have been concocted as an example, but I have difficulty in seeing how Marx's alleged marital infidelity casts doubt on his ideas about politics and society. Many famous people have had affairs. Einstein for example. Does his adultery with Elsa Lowanthal, that led to his divorce from his first wife Mileva, cast doubt on the theory of relativity?
@contrex,
Being open-minded is a good thing, sure.
But the conversation there was special... It seems not necessary to mention that.

What does this mean? I do not understand.
@contrex,
What I meant was that in free world the theory of Marx might be used properly; while in China, everything would be different. Karl's theory had been usurped by commies in a way of violence.
And the conversation was happened in China, the land abandonned by God.
