Well, well, well.

Who cudda seen this one coming?

FRONTPAGE magazine (motto: “INSIDE EVERY PROGRESSIVE IS A TOTALITARIAN SCREAMING TO GET OUT”) is running a very witty, very pointed and very factually true post by Oleg Atbashian on The Father of Communism’s other daddyhood which he achieved when he knocked up the Marx’s hired help, the family maid, Helen Demuth.

It get’s better.

Ol’ Karl enlisted the assistance of commie soul brother, close friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels in silencing The Exploited Woman and covering up Marx’s privileged pursuit of patriarchy.

Holy #MeToo!

Wait, it get’s even more better.

The New York Times has known about Marx’s misadventures in masculine misanthropy since 1983 but has let their own reportage slide down The Memory Hole – What Marx Hid 3/14/1983:

…Marx desperately sought to hide. Even today, this secret, which he successfully concealed during his lifetime, is not well known. In 1851, while living in London, Marx fathered an illegitimate son by Helen Demuth, the longtime family maid. Fearing that this indiscretion would destroy his marriage and damage his public image, he organized an effective cover-up, whose participants were Marx’s friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels and Helen Demuth. Engels pretended he was the father and Miss Demuth confirmed the deception. The infant, Fredrick Demuth, was given away to be brought up by a working-class family in London. The secret was preserved for more than four decades. In 1895, on his deathbed, Engels confessed to Eleanor Marx -one of Marx’s two surviving daughters. She was shattered by the revelation. Three years later, she committed suicide. In 1911, Marx’s other daughter, Laura, killed herself. Freddy Demuth grew up a neglected, lonely child.

Meanwhile, back over at FRONTPAGE, fun, fun fun is had at the expense of Chuck, Nancy and the rest of Ol’ Karl’s Democrat enablers:

The father of scientific socialism and an inspirational figure to many leading Democrats, Karl Marx has announced that he is resigning as a seminal thinker and is asking all his followers, especially women, to forgive him and forget his doctrine of class conflict and communist internationalism due to allegations of sexual abuse of his female aide and a criminal conspiracy to cover it up. … Marx continued, “As a white cisgendered heterosexual male, I have cheated on my wife, sexually assaulted my subordinate, and otherwise abused my power and privilege to hurt and victimize women. I therefore feel that I no longer have the right, nor the moral authority to defend my philosophy of class victimization, to incite class hatred, provoke violent anti-bourgeois revolutions, and establish proletarian dictatorships.” The pressure on the leader of the exploited masses to step down has been mounting for days, ever since the New York Times broke the story about how Mr. Marx, a husband and a father of three, sexually exploited his longtime family maid, Helen Demuth. Fearing to lose her job in a volatile capitalist economy, Ms. Demuth yielded to her employer’s sexual harassment. What started as inappropriate touching and groping, soon escalated into what legally amounts to sexual assault in the workplace, which continued daily for years in Mr. Marx’s home, where Mrs. Marx and their daughters also resided.

These are not mere allegations – they are recorded historical facts.

Given the current Temper of the Times a historical opportunity has presented itself and Ol’ Karl needs to step up to the plate and Do the Right Thing.
