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.

It’s gonna sound extremely privileged but I’ll say it my checks can 6 lbs can of unsweeten applesauce is too big. If I open it I’ll have to commit to making something within the same couple of days or it will go bad and I only brought this on myself. I got it since by volume it was cheaper than the smaller ones and a great egg substitute until I found ground flax seeds where are way better just because of shelf life and storage btw. I’ll use it up this weekend making cookies and pancakes maybe a cake too idk it’s gonna be delicious
I was gonna give advice on how to use it. But you already know, cookies pancakes and cakes. I did vegan muffins with em for a job for a while. They had been using 80 bananas per batch instead which was dumb cause expensive and also cause they all had to be banana flavored that way. I didn’t even know apple sauce was something people used just knew it had the same consistency as smashed banana and tried it.
Oh yeah I hear you on the banana part, only real time I used banana was if I could get them super cheap at the store when they were gonna go off for baking. Applesauce was probably one of the first egg substitutes I knew when I first went vegan. Now it’s mostly flax seeds for me but gotta get through this large can before sept.
