prompted by a gc discussion last night, i decided to look up karl marx on a03. thus, for your amusement i present:
a review of the highlights of the 'karl marx' tag
“Philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is, to slash it.” – Not Karl Marx

some basic info: these fics are only from ao3 so if your fav is on some other site, i missed it.
there are 25 works in this category. i am reviewing only a selection of those that feature marx centrally. there are a couple of my immortal parodies, but those are their own thing

i will make one exception for this: Commodity Fetishism ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/24341818 )

a very short but surprisingly well-thought out fic about the worker and capitalist of Capital (just a good summary? send this to your Liberal friends); lots of jokes for your Capital RG

lovingly, this is completely terrible. *all* sorts of things are egregiously called “proletarian”, there are a-historical references, marx has a hammer and sickle tattoo. arguably the marx/engels is better than the luxemburg/jogiches

this one is based on “Young Marx” and is… surprisingly good. genuinely quite characterful, self-aware enough to be funny, unexpectedly sweet. less hilarious, and worryingly close to somehow being good rpf

SFW (shockingly)
perhaps the most 2017 thing ever committed to a03: marx/robbie rotten slash. nothing explicit, very short, but that’s going to be stuck in your brain now, isn’t it?

cute little drunken walk home with marx/engels–some implied romantic tension, but nothing happens. very recent and possibly will be expanded upon; this is basically a SFW version of Ardour

Preface ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/22132888 )
SFW
a purported “lost draft” of the 1885 preface to Capital in which engels mourns his dead comrade and the unrequited love he had for him. surprisingly sad for marx/engels, and is the source of the quote at the top of the thread

the last couple of entries are from a deeply confusing but apparently extant subgenre: kpop marx fics
fair warning that i'm not an expert on kpop, but i felt it was unfair to leave these out

this was prompted by a tumblr post and it shows. T.O.P. has his consciousness raised by marx who is hanging out in a south korean barracks for some reason? honestly purely weird but kind of impressive in concept

the most ambitious crossover of all time. minho (yes, from SHINee) x marx. this is a complete mess, kind of hilarious, and i need people to know that someone thought this needed to exist for some reason
