" . . . projects aim to democratize the creation and production of knowledge, to bring into being a kind of epistemic communism that, to update a famous passage from Marx’s German Ideology, makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, mathematize after dinner . . . without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman, or mathematician. . ."
I might demonstrate this was early snark directed at Max Stirner were it not for the fact this book was never part of the Marxist-Communism formalism and left to the gnawing criticism of mice ( Engels )

Like so much Marx and Engels marginalia it is regularly used and abused by todays communists so wounding and weakening any hope of Marxism ever being taken seriously again. Another advantage of their bad faith and bullshit is we may now publish all the embarrassing crap their hero's ever scribbled. Of which there is a shit-ton I can attest to even as their own formal corpus condemns them alone.
Engels: (Marx and Engels, Selected Works, Vol. 3, p. 502.): "We regard economic conditions as the factor which ultimately determines historical development. But race is itself an economic factor".
