Karl Marx never bathed and had boils all over his body, was an alcoholic, had an unpaid maid whom he might have r*ped (he certainly got her pregnant, despite what Wikipedia says). He smoked so much it killed one of his babies (which he left in the family bed - the only one they had - because he was too lazy to get a job to afford to bury it), and he made his aristocratic wife depressed and turn to drink.
Two of his surviving daughters committed suic*de, and the only child to survive into old age was the boy he fathered to the maid, who didn't live with Marx and was therefore the only sane one.
Engels and other family, friends and neighbours had to constantly give Marx money throughout his life because he never did anything productive. He had to beg and borrow, and sent his wife off to do the same. He worked briefly as a article writer for a newspaper, but never had another job and couldn't provide for his family, despite their need, and despite him being more than capable of working. He was constantly in debt, and because he didn't pay his rent the bailiffs took away the family furniture, even the crib. They owed everyone, even the bakers and the milkmen. Yet Marx still refused to work!
And to top it off, Marx was wrong about everything. We know this because his fairytale predictions about the future have simply not come true, and were proven to be wrong during his lifetime and not long after his death (e.g. by Eduard Bernstein). His policies have led to misery for billions of people, and death to many tens of millions. Why anyone pines over this monster is beyond me.
And if Karl Marx is the best "social theorist" we've ever had, then it's no wonder society is parasitical and anti-life. You should care whether he was wrong or not, but you won't because the socialist faith turns people into sleepwalking NPCs.

Marx was the best social theorist we've ever had. I don't care if he was wrong about this or that. He gave us the kernel of the truth like no one ever had before.
