MARX ATTACKS!

For the second time in less than a fortnight someone has attacked the grave site of the lifelong sponger Karl Marx.  Last time it was attacked with a hammer, this time it was daubed with red graffiti - on all sides.  It's probably no coincidence the attacker chose red paint...

Vandals back at Marx Memorial, Highgate Cemetery. Red paint this time, plus the marble tablet smashed up. Senseless. Stupid. Ignorant. Whatever you think about Marx's legacy, this is not the way to make the point. pic.twitter.com/hGKBMYGWNy

While we cannot argue with any of the poignant messages left upon the memorial, this kind of behaviour is of no use to anyone but the left.  It provides the left with ammunition and legitimises their victim mentality.  Owen Jones has been banging on for years about the rise of the 'far right' and he was quick to tweet about 'right wing thugs' within minutes of the news breaking.

On the other hand, those leftists bemoaning this attack should stop ignoring history and suck up the catastrophic reality of Marx's policies in practice...
