Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.
Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.
Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.
Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

Was at partner's family's house for taco dinner and they were offering crunchy shells... uncooked.
Is this why so many people hate crunchy taco shells? Because they're eating chewy, gummy-ass uncooked shells??
You have to cook them? Ive always had ones that are hard like a tortilla chip
yeah im very confused too, you either have tacos made in soft flour/corn tortilla or have hard ones i thought
You bake the hard shells for a couple minutes to make them crispier and less tough
Are the ones in the old el paso kits cooked? 'cause I have a feeing that could be the disparity here.
I mean they're cooked to get them into that shape but you also want to heat them up a bit right before eating them
I've had ones that are a soft, typically corn tortilla cooked/fried on the griddle and they become crunchy
ah that makes sense, i dont really like corn tortillas so it would make sense ive never had them that way!
you bake them in the oven for a little bit, makes them nice and crunchy and awesome
Makes them feel... IDK. Fresher? Crunchier? Guess the texture uncooked would depend on the brand too.
