The Karl Marx MasterCard
One wonders if Marx would have had a MC account. In today's world, why not?

This is surprising to me. I always thought of Karl Marx as more of a Discover Card type.
Now Zeppo Marx,, on the other hand...

What I was expecting to see in the article, but didn't, is that when Chemnitz was part of the German Democratic Republic (aka East Germany), it was renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt.
Marx wasn't such a bad guy, and modern Marxists sometimes have something interesting to tell us (especially now that they can pretend that they never really supported the Soviet empire  ).
