“Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck the living flower.”  Carl Marx

So far, Freud is my favorite, I can grasp him, understand him…but Marx had hope, and Freud had none.  So Marx get the quote, and Freud will get the essay.  What I don’t understand, amid the endless criticisms, censorship, and hate, that seem to surround these two men, is how anyone could miss the point.  Who of us, in the face of poverty, sickness, discrimination, alienation and rejection, has dedicated the bulk of our lives to understanding and trying to fix the root of suffering.  I don’t think Freud and Marx are turning over in darkness, pierced in spirit that their message has been so reviled or tragically misunderstood.  No, I think these two guys are in bitter limbo (damn atheists), wounded to the core, that no-one got how much they cared.
