The early writings and poetic fantasies of Karl Marx act as a window into the darker motivations behind his later political and economic polemics.

“it sheds light, I think, on the underlying structure of his motivation for the so-called economic theories that he developed later.”

Karl Marx was a deeply disordered individual whose early writings and personal life reveal a fascination with Mephistophelean motifs and a desire for total destruction.

“Marx’s first love was poetry. And he fancied himself as aspiring to be nothing less than the Goethe of his age. To write the Faust of his age. And Goethe’s Faust of course the the famous character is the Mephistopheles character the devil demon character.”
