Karl Marx's memorial in Highgate Cemetery has been vandalised for the second time in two weeks.

The words "Doctrine of Hate" and "Architect of Genocide" are scrawled in red on the Grade I-listed grave.

This latest attack follows a "mindless" hammer attack on 4 February .

Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust said the German philosopher's memorial would "never be the same again", after what it described as "a deliberate and sustained attack" earlier in the month.

There have been no arrests in connection with either attack.

Why is there a Karl Marx memorial anywhere in Western Europe?

There will be statues erected of Marx in the USA if the progressive left gets their way.

Liberals al over are crying in their Starbucks coffee.

I propose a campaign to rid our country off all liberal related statues.

They've done it to us with Civil war southern related structures.

Tit for Tat.

He died in London and is buried at Highgate Cemetery there.

It’s a shame that people only seem to know him because of his political predictions; that’s such a small part of his overall work. He is an incredibly important influence in the way we now view economics, history, law, and social science. His contention that most (if not all) events can and should be viewed and explained through an economic lens stands the test of time.

He essentially invented the idea that when trying to analyze a situation, just “follow the money.”

I'm a rabid anti-Marxist but not a fan of vandalizing Marx's grave at all. With that being said, the statue of Lenin is all kinds of fair game.

Democrats: let's tear down confederate statues

Republicans: YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!! THAT'S OUR HERITAGE!!!!!
