J. MICHAEL WALLER: Did you know? Karl Marx was a migrant asylum-seeker. He was expelled from Prussia, France, and Belgium for subversive revolutionary activity. The British gave him asylum in 1849. But Marx wouldn't get a job. He leeched off others. He spent his time planning violent revolution.

Living under British asylum for the last 34 years of his life, Marx never got a job.

He saw himself as the victim. He chose to live in squalor. Three of his children died in his filthy apartment.

He spent his time plotting to overthrow the system that protected him.
