A fantastic and comprehensive documentation of Marx through history. SPOILER: He wasn't very popular...
This was my favorite: "Here is W.E.B. Du Bois (himself a Marxist) complaining in 1933 that Marx was little-known in the United States and largely dismissed by intellectuals as a crank until the Soviets put him on the map in 1917."

🧵Before 1917, Karl Marx was a niche figure, known mostly to fellow socialists and to economists who critiqued and rejected his system. It was not until Lenin & the Soviets that he attained mainstream salience. This is widely attested in the intellectual history of Marxism.
