I said I had<br>never met him. Not surprisingly, this Ugandan Muyindi had never heard of Karl<br>Marx. “He’s dead.”</p><p>I said, “I&#x27;m sorry, what happened?”</p><p>“No, he died long ago.”</p><p>I wondered why, then, the question. “Why, then, are you asking me?”<br>Later, I would remind myself: the FBI introduced me to Karl Marx! &quot;<br><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/book/" rel="tag">#book</a></p>
