I’m joking, but it’s at least kinda true (or would’ve been, if Marxism had been around at the time). Consider some assorted quotes by Diogenes:
“Alexander the Great found the philosopher looking attentively at a pile of human bones. Diogenes explained, "I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave.”
Once he saw the officials of a temple leading away some one who had stolen a bowl belonging to the treasurers, and said, "The great thieves are leading away the little thief.”
“What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others.”
“In a rich man’s house there is no place to spit but his face.”
Ironic: Marx is a cynic, and cynics are Marxist.
