Setting the record straight on Marx

During the debate on health care reform Karl Marx's name has been drug through the mud time and again. Being a dedicated Marx scholar, it pains me to see how he has been grossly misrepresented for petty political gain. I'd like to set the record straight.

Karl Max - A Condensed History for the People
by Wes Beltz

Karl Marx was the inventor of Communism and Socialism. He moved to Germany in the early 1930's and became good pals with Adolph Hitler. Hitler loved Marx's Socialism idea so much that he ran with it and formed the Nazi party. Towards the end of the war things were looking hairy, and Josef Mengele who had just made extraordinary breakthroughs in artificial insemination suggested that high ranking Nazi officials and other people of great import donate sperm samples to be kept for a future Nazi uprising. Hitler volunteered Karl Marx for the experiment and his sperm was kept in cold storage. Somewhere along the way several of the samples were handed off to the Japanese. Due to Allied attacks on supply ship convoys these samples were thought to have been lost not too far off the coast of Hawaii...

Karl Marx himself fled Germany and lived for many years in the seclusion of Siberia. As the Cold War continued to gain momentum in the 1960's he was called back to the Soviet Union where he served as a valuable adviser on Communism and Socialism(obviously). Tragically, he was killed on the eve of his 80th birthday as part of the Berlin Wall literally fell on top of him.
