Found a book written in Chinese laying next to the monument. Very cool.

This is apparently his original grave:

Notice how he's leaning left. curious-marx

Also, Marx isn't dead. He's living rent free in the mind of the people who keep vandalizing his grave. Imagine posting so hard people do this shit 150 years after you're dead. It's something aspire too.

He cared too much about improving society somewhat and he was never forgiven for that. marx-goth

So how many goats did you have to sacrifice to resurrect him?

You did resurrect him, right? anakin-padme-2

You didn't make a pilgrimage all the way to his grave and leave him in there, did you? anakin-padme-4

Rookie error, he wont rise unless you raise Jenny too.

I mean, I thought we all agreed this was like a dragon ball situation. We collect all the players and we get our wish granted.

The grave to the left of Marx is Claudia Jones

Is his original grave close by to the big one?

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Both are in Highgate Cemetery, the original in West Highgate Cemetery while the relocation is in East. The original is just a stone now, the whole body was exhumed and moved in 1956. 11 people attended his original burial including Engels.

Thanks for sharing this. Very neat thing to see.

Father of Karl Liebknecht too.

Very cool, I got to see it years ago (and at that time I didn't know his original gravesite was elsewhere, wish I would have seen that too). There were a couple of letters that people had left from all over the world. It was touching.
