WHEN AN EDUCATED MAN CHOOSES TO LIVE IN POVERTY, AND RAISE HIS CHILDREN IN POVERTY, THAT IS ABUSE.

Not only did the Marx children have to endure the hunger of poverty, they were raised in filth, or what his friend described as "a pig-sty".

Karl Marx and his wife had 7 children. Four of those children died young. Only three survived to achieve adulthood. Every biography of Marx reports that his four children who died young died because of the poverty they had to endure.

Instead, he sat in his pig-sty and found all sorts of reasons he shouldn't work. Mainly, he thought he was too important to work. He didn't want to work, he wanted to sit in the filth at his table and pretend to be thinking important thoughts.

Watching his children go hungry, seeing them live in filth, is neglect. It is abuse. There was no need for it. He had an education and could have earned an income, and he knew where he had come from, a comfortable life with his parents. He could have provided for his family as his father had provided for him, but obviously that was not important to him.

His theory of Marxism has been a failure, too. The Soviet Union failed dramatically. Cuba's people live in poverty. And in North Korea the people truly are slaves to their Marxist beloved leader. Under Marxism, more than one hundred million people have died, either from being murdered or from starvation.

By any standard, Marx' life was a failure, as a husband, as a father, as a provider.
