So I'm doing a presentation on Karl Marx this Friday

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

5-7 minutes, gotta talk about his life, influence on/contribution to sociology, and the historical significance of all that jazz. Easy peasy.

I'm supposed to have a visual aid but I don't really want to do a powerpoint, so since I know everyone else will be doing a powerpoint I thought I could draw like a portrait of Marx on the whiteboard behind the projector screen, then reveal it when it's my turn all dramatically, but what else can I draw on the board as far as illustrations go? Some of my main points probably but I was hoping to come up with something more creative. Suggestions?

Draw a society crumbling apart in effort to attain an impossible and misguided social goal. Crumbling buildings and the like.

So like Rome?

Yes, except every single building is a featureless block.

Marxism is stifling my creative flow

Creativity requires individualist thought, and is thus despicable.

In college Marx was in a Poet's club and a Drinking club.

Raxacoricofallapatorius said a Drinking club.

Be more specific. All college clubs are drinking clubs.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Wikipedia said the Trier Tavern Club drinking society (Landsmannschaft der Treveraner), at one point serving as club co-president.

After learning about Marx for the first time in a way not presented as "Yeah he invented communism.", he's really not that bad.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

He seems like a pretty interesting dude, I'd have dinner with him.

Oh come on now

I regret my earlier post in this thread, because I was lazy and used the word 'crumbling' twice.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Ta da!

This was bigger than I thought it would be

That is superb!

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Tyvm.

I tell ya though, that beard was really intimidating.

Every good communist has a beard or moustache

I'd say that presentation went very well considering I threw it together this morning.

Draw Stalin crushing his and Trotsky's hopes and dreams.
