Some economic humor...
Karl Marx’s birth city sells ‘zero-euro’ bills for his 200th birthday
In Rheinland-Pfalz, Marx's 200th birthday bash is bringing in a lot of capital. Whether the communist philosopher would have been down with this commerce is hard to say.
...in celebrations of Marx's birth, people are wasting no time attempting to gain as much ‘capital’ as possible.
In Chemnitz - a city that was called ‘Karl-Marx-Stadt’ during the GDR’s reign - there is a new beer with the name MarxStädter (Marx townspeople). In Trier, visitors can also purchase a Karl-Marx wine - a red one of course.
For those looking for a vessel for all of these Karl-Marx themed drinks, cups are also one of the items available for sale, with logos including Marx’s head, quotes from the famous philosopher, and red and green Marx traffic lights, which are also currently located in the city.
