Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.
Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.
Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.
Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

I have figured out why doctors go insane. Here is a translation of a real conversation:
1: Oh yeah I'm gonna do like 8 hours of dry then take a nap
2: Oh yeah I did like 12 hours of dry yesterday and two hours of wet
1: You benefit from wet?
2: Kind of. But mostly it's more fun to spot wet. Cozier, you know?
1: Wet is just a waste of time IMO (Each litter pronounced and emphasised). Plus there's way more people in dry
2: Yeah you don't have to fight to see anything in wet
what are "dry" and "wet" here?!?
If you know it becomes less funny but more stupid to hear someone say they did 12 hours of dry.
ruining the joke
spoiler also CW for dead stuff "Dry" is a study hall with cadavers, "wet" is where they store the cadavers while they're being prepared for exhibition or if someone fucked up preparation. In "dry" hall you can sit and look at cadavers in neat little glass showcases. In "wet" you can take up pieces of cadavers and poke and prod them yourself, but things are less neatly organised. So if I wanted to read up on arm anatomy I could see a well prepared specimen with the nerves marked and organised on an app in "dry "hall, or I could go down to "wet" hall, grab a pair of tweezers and a slab and poke around an actual arm :::
thank you, I was so confused
That was the point tbf. I just realised that the way med students speak has little relation to normal language.
Doctors are Like That because they do too much school. Every doctor I've met at work is weird and I swear to god it's the 10 years of uni and 2 of residency.
Too much school is a good point. This is the only way you end up having honest to goodness adults treat school lockers as a status symbol. But also people at the humanities campus can at least talk normally. You don't hear "I did 12 hours of dry" or gossipping about that time the student bar put detergent in the coffee 3 years ago on a daily basis there.
