Editing Europa: The Last Battle (section)

===== Claim (06:45): "Marx said that [Slavs] must perish in a revolutionary holocaust (in 1856)" =====
The quote shown on screen is as follows: ''"the classes and races too weak to master the new conditions of life must give away... They must perish in a revolutionary holocaust."'' The first part is a real quote, from 1853, not 1856. So close! Marx is commenting on the refugee crisis of poor farmers from Ireland due to the negative effects off industrialization. He sees these negative effects as an inevitable part of capitalist modernization, so he is in fact not arguing for anything.<ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1853/03/04.htm"Society is undergoing a silent revolution, which must be submitted to, and which takes no more notice of the human existences it breaks down than an earthquake regards the houses it subverts. The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way."</ref> Rather, he is describing an ongoing crisis. The second part is completely fictional, perhaps it was revealed to Tobias B. in a dream. '''Verdict:''' False
