Karl Marx, the capitalist

Miles has figured out that like all “communist” leaders, Karl Marx was really a capitalist, from a family of ultra-rich bankers & industrialists:

• Marx’ maternal uncle Benjamin Philips was a wealthy banker & industrialist. The relatives of his mother officially included more ultra-rich bankers & merchants, some of which would found Philips Electronics shortly after he had officially died.
• Marx’ wife came from the ruling aristocracy. Her father was a descendant of British nobility, yet became a “mentor, role model and fatherly friend” to the “communist” Marx.
• Marx’ father came from an endless line of “rabbis”, but some of these are also officially from wealthy & well-connected elites, and are titled on Geni.com as “rabbi, merchant, banker”, such as the family of Moses Isserles. It’s probably no coincidence that rabbi also means “usurer” & “profiteer” in Hebrew & Aramaic. Marx more likely came from an endless line of bankers!

But it’s even worse than that: Miles has famously proven that Marx was also a capitalist agent, and Marxism a capitalist scam, misrepresenting legitimate criticism of capitalism. I’d recommend you to read that paper if you haven’t already, it’s worth every minute you spend reading it.

Marx as a pun with m-rkwš for “from capital”

And here’s yet another sick joke played by the capitalists on us: Not only was Marx a capitalist and a secret agent of capitalism. The name Marx itself even puns with “capitalist”.

The pun-word is מרכוש m-rkwš me-rkush. It comes from the root rkš, an ancient term for “acquiring” & “property”. It also means “harnessed team of horses”, so the common root meaning is probably “binding things together” (also found as rks).

In modern times, the derivative רכושנות rkwšnwt rekhushnot was the standard Hebrew translation for “capitalism”, before it was replaced by a transcription of the English word.

(According to the Klein dictionary, the term was coined by Itamar Ben-Avi, a spooky “Zionist” & “journalist”. In yet another over-the-top fake sob-story, his father had made him the first native speaker of modern Hebrew, by not allowing him to have human friends, only a dog. The best way to learn a new language, I bet.)

If you prefix the term רכוש rkwš with M, it becomes מרכוש m-rkwš, meaning “of property” or “from capital”. This is pronounced much like Marx. Unlike other such constructs it’s not found in dictionaries a a single word. But since the M-prefix is standard grammar, it is a valid construct nonetheless.

And we can easily find מרכוש m-rkwš used as such a grammar construct: In Biblical & modern texts, מרכוש m-rkwš means “of property”.

Josiah contributed to the lay people, to all who were present, flocks of lambs and young goats, all for the Passover offerings, numbering 30,000 plus 3,000 bulls; these were from the king’s possessions.

In Jewish law, the term “fruit” is also used to denote gain from property, investment, trade.

bhlkh hyhwdyt mšmš hmwnḥ “pyrwt” bṣwrh mwšˀlt gm lṣywn rwwḥ mrkwš, mhšqˁh, mmsḥr.

בהלכה היהודית משמש המונח “פירות” בצורה מושאלת גם לציון רווח מרכוש, מהשקעה, ממסחר.

Private property is distinct from public property which refers to property owned by a state, government, local authority and any other non-private entity.

The definition of a stock and its separation from fixed assets depends on the nature of a business’s operations and is sometimes not straightforward.

According to some versions, a person’s body is also considered part of his “property”.

Latin merx for “commerce”

A more straightforward Marx pun, though without Marx’ “Jewish” angle, is with Latin merx for “wares”, which is the origin of words like merchandise, market, commerce.

In this sense, Marx would be a secret agent of commerce, or con-merx. It would also explain the hammer in Communism, as marcus (see sickle).
