PoorKarlSir — In a cruel twist of irony, visiting Karl Marx’s grave requires a mandatory entry fee. Marx’s work critiqued the commercialisation of human life; his grave has now been turned into a commodity. There is something extremely absurd about having to shell out cash just to pay respects to the father of the proletariat. It proves that capitalism does not just seep into every aspect of life; it holds the keys to the afterlife too. Even if Trump does not go ahead with his threats, the damage has been done.
