I don't blame him for not working. 99% of the jobs under capitalism are pointless, repetative, unfulfilling, boring, shitty and dehumanizing, and whats more is that the value you produce is expropriated by the parasitic, private property owning classes - who DON'T work for a living and live off the labor of an army of wage slaves. I absolutely deplore the fact that I have to work or face starvation, homelessness and state enforced brutality if I dont. FUCK THIS SYSTEM. Marx also had extreme health problems which compromised his capacity to work throughout much of his life.
Either way, this is just an ad-hominem and has absolutely zero bearing on his economic and social analysis.
