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 am so glad I don't have an email job. Somehow everyone front of house in our restaurant doesn't know how to phrase a 'sub x for y'. Say for example someone gets a pepperoni pizza and the note should mean 'substitute the pepperoni for olives' (weird request but trying to make a clear example), every single one writes in 'sub olives for pep'.

I think it's because of the weirdness where the arguments flip depending on the preposition, so "sub X for Y" means the opposite of "sub X with Y"—even native English speakers might get tripped up sometimes, so I can only imagine what it's like for non-native speakers. Replace would remove the ambiguity, since the only valid formation is "replace X with Y".

The non English speakers work in the kitchen with me. Front of house is white except for one dude. Also one of the severs has an English degree
