This comes from an evangelical comic explaining what they think communism is. I used to have it somewhere.
I remember it makes a ton of mistakes, like it shows Marx in a university classroom with Hegel as the professor, even though Hegel had been dead for over 10 years by that point. It also claims Engels was just some dumbass hanging onto Marx out of feelings of insecurity. Like there’s a panel where Engels is explaining how Marx was talking about the withering away of the state concept. A woman asks Engels to elaborate, but he can’t because he realizes he doesn’t fully understand the concept. Which is rich, because it’s the reverse in reality. Engels is the one who came up with the idea of the state withering away and Marx incorporated it.
It also depicts Marx’s contemporaries as trying to save Marx’s soul by getting him back into Christianity, which is also rich because Marx’s best friend in college was Bruno Bauer. That’s the guy who wanted to make all religion illegal, yet in the comic Bauer’s depicted as like a concerned friend in an evangelical Kevin Sorbo movie.
if you take the comic seriously you’d believe we promote Marxism-Satanism (I do)
