Univ of Florida honors Karl Marx?

The University of Florida has named a study room after Communist Manifesto author Karl Marx, who the university calls a “philosopher, radical economist, and revolutionary critic.”
Karl Marx, who the University of Florida has labeled as a “philosopher, radical economist, and revolutionary critic,” has been honored with the naming of a study room in the Library West according to a report by Campus Reform.
Below the name of the study room is a sign which credits Marx as being the “founder of scientific socialism,” whose “reputation as a radical thinker” emerged during the rise of the socialist political parties in the 1870s and 1880s.
“The unique extent of the influence of Marx’s materialist explanation of the workings of society, economics and history, inevitably saw Marxist theory extend its influence to literary criticism,” the plaque reads.
Marx is also credited with laying the foundation for the rise of “socialist and communist movements throughout the world.”
Karl Marx Group Study Room is reportedly one of 14 spaces that students can reserve and holds the largest occupancy available.
Each study room is reportedly named after a different influential individual.
Many, however, might consider naming a room in honor of Marx to be a bizarre move, given that international communism — which has left 100 million people dead over the course of 100 years — is grounded in the late philosopher’s ideas, known as Marxism.
While the University of Florida props up Marx’s name, schools across the country are tearing down American figures, such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Paul Revere.

I wish the administration over there would implement some Marxism on campus with tuition, grades, and housing and give these kids a little insight into Karl's dream world

Theyre not even trying to hide it anymore.

We have to be in the upside down world. There is no other excuse for this buffoonery.

That’s fine.
Inside the room they should post images of all of the nations and dictators who implemented or attempted Marxism throughout history and the number of civilian deaths which resulted in each nation.

Karl Marx was a devout racist

I actually read Marx. Spent a lot of time on it. Went it with as open of a mind as possible. Hell, there must be something there if people believe it.
There are some things he gets right, as in what problems society and capitalism can face, but his solutions are awful, contradictory and go against all we know of human nature.
I walked away from the study feeling like I read the ramblings of a violent psychopath. If someone believe in his philosophy, they deserve all the ridicule we can heap upon them.

Studying economics in any of these rooms would be like studying child sex trafficking in a room named after Jeffrey Epstein.

Same here. UF had been getting money from me for 40 years, but that ended for good in 2020.
It's not like I'll burn my Gator gear, but I doubt I'll ever set foot on campus again.

Where is Hitler's study room?

In Vienna Austria a large Avenue is called Karl Marx Strasse so I don't see the big deal. Things are named for philosophers and economists all the time.
There is a town in New York named Aristotle.

Still pissed about that.

Disgusting and embarrassing.

He also pioneered jean shorts as a fashion statement against the bourgeoisie.

I think you’re capable of reasoning away anything to fit your worldview.
Tell us how Mao Zedong or Pol Pot can be admired for their “good” intentions.

I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think Aristotle's teachings led to the murder and starvation of millions of people. Feel free to correct me on that
