Under the solemn shadow of the Highgate Cemetery trees, the tomb of Karl Marx He has a new, silent companion. Is a Labubuthe hairy head and a little disturbing eyes that goes crazy all over the world and which has made its creator in a short time the youngest billionaire in China, with a heritage over twenty billion dollars. Someone placed it next to it, in almost affectionate pose, as if the remains of the man symbol of communist thought were ready to embrace the merchandising Kawaii and the capitalist logic under the supply and offer basis that generate the fomo.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, in Cuba, Sandro Castrothe nephew of the much better known Fidelborn in 1992 when the grandfather was still very active politically, he reinvented influencer, recovers while he makes grimaces and drinks beer and has 120,000 followers on Instagram. And so, while the Lider Maximo has always maintained a very low profile on his private life and his strictly familiar events, his nephew reinvented Content Creator.
“O tempora, or Mores!” Someone will say. Better content Creator than with the same ideas as the grandfather, we would say by breathing a sigh of relief. But a question arises: what would the good old Fidel say if today he could see the social activities of his nephew? “Hasta el reel siempre” It could be the new slogan of the Castro family!
In short, by paraphrasing a famous quote from Il Cavaliere Dark: “Either you die as a hero, or live so long to become content”. And if Marx and Fidel also actually died as heroes (but only for some companions, ça va sans to say …), the same cannot be said of the Communismwhich in today’s world is an inconsistent, inapplicable, impalpable theory but which is still claimed and fond of those who do not realize the benefits of a stimulating, multifaceted, economically free and therefore productive society such as ours and which thus becomes anything but a caricature, a sparkling idea.
The empirical evidence of this is having it precisely looking not only at communism as the theory itself, but also to Effects that has produced on the field: from the disaffection (better) and from the terror (to the worst) that the peoples who lived it on the skin feel against him, up to the change of course and mentality of the direct descendants of those who were the main promoters of it. After all, from socialism to social -ism the step is short!
And while Castro Jr Jr turns another Tiktok, who knows that LabuBu to protect the remains of the bearded philosopher, in the grip of a supernatural afflatus, does not end up creating and also verbally defended Marx with the most classic of the phrases of the theorists of the proletariat: “It was not true communism!”.
