Buddy have you even read Marx’s life story lmao
History in general really. Everyone was so fucking drunk all the time in the 19th and 20th centuries.
And before ibuprofen even existed, madness. Imagine the headaches everyone must have had day after day, all day long
Nah they still had OJ back then and there’s a reason “hair of the dog” is a thing.
Fresh orange juice with all the pulp is a great thing to drink first thing in the morning after heavy drinking.
I remember hearing that this was the case in old (Rome era) societies. They had wine and beer, albeit at much lower proofs than we drink today, as a common beverage because it was safer to drink. So peasants just got up and worked every day with a nice buzz.
Boy do I have something to tell you about Marx and alcohol.
A spirit is haunting hexbear. A spirit of grain alcohol.
I mean there was no such thing as a Marxist yet. There were other socialists and sure he may not have had much of a direct material influence but his writing and development of historical materialism were extremely influential. We all have something to contribute and we also all have flaws. As long as you’re not a reactionary or a counter-revolutionary you can be a good Marxist.
I mean he was instrumental in creating the Working Men’s Association and later the International, and he and Engels kinda took part in the German revolution of 1848, but he wasn’t the one true leftist, if that’s what you mean. He spent most of his time engaged in petty feuds and drama, and could be a real fuckhead, which is a time-honored tradition among Marxists.
I don’t really want to delve into the theory aspects / “good vs bad marxist”, but the fact is that its a brutal world and coping mechanisms dont give a fuck about moralism or ideology. If this is a coping mechanism for you there’s no shame in that, but perhaps you’ll find that eventually this coping mechanism doesn’t serve you as well as others could
Source: used to drink a fuckton (e.g. a 26 oz bottle a day, or more) have now gotten all the way to only having ~5 drinks a week
