Unless you happen to be one of the people in the west the upper class needs to actually be able to understand reality, then he is crucial.

Like i have a lawyer friend who had to study both marx, engels and max weber as its essential to understanding UK law. If your job requires you to interpret complex social reality their is just no substitute.

i dont know if id put marx at that place, in the global south Marx is almost treated as lucifer lol.

What do you mean? I can think of a lot of places in the global south where marx is appreciated

Shit retelling, missing out a lot of information between those last two paragraphs, its completely one sided and western perspective biased.

No mention that the protestors where armed and had been lynching and burning alive unarmed police and civil servants? Like this happened days before martial law, and it was in response to it.
