    @pycpim @CPIMKerala I've taken issue with this Marx quote for awhile now; he was hardly the first philosopher to actively try changing the world through politics. Look at Aristotle mentoring Alexander, or Marcus Aurelius being an emperor himself, or Machiavelli also being a diplomat.

      @pycpim @CPIMKerala (If Marx had instead worded the quote, "Many philosophers only interpret the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it," then I'd have no objection to it)
