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.

Which would you rather have as a side with vegan chicken tikka masala

Rajma masala (curried red kidney beans) with rice

Or

Rajma pulao (red kidney bean rice pilaf)

Rajma pulao; I think the meal would benefit from the carbs--unless there's already naan around.

there's gonna be rice either way, with the rajma masala basically I'll cook the bean curry and then serve it in a trench made of rice, and with the pilaf it'll just be part of it

naan

I would put out the sweet potato flatbreads i make (and the sous chef insists on emptying out the freezer before summer break even though im pretty sure they'll be perfectly fine in August, so i do need to use them before next Friday) but I just put those out today for the moroccan stew i made and I can't do the same thing 2x in a row i'll look like what I am, an amateur

maybe on that note i shouldn't do the rajma pulao since I did a moroccan rice pilaf today... but idk since they'll taste very different
