Is must be so, da.

Yes, but this is consistent with being wretch.

Obviously. What else makes a Jewish leftist voluntarily abase herself before a Nazi?

Well, he was testy and arrogant, schtupped the maid, but seems to have treated Jenny well, was a bit of prig, hurt Engels' feelings by not offering proper commiseration when Engels' unmarried S.O. died--Engels, like Mill, was ahead of his time on this, course in Mill's case Harriet Taylor was already married to someone else so they couldn't get married until her hubby died. Anyway, I wander. Marx was not a real creep, mostly didn't treat the people around him too badly. He aws fierce politiaclly of course, but that is different.

I know nothing about Adorno personally.
