I don't see what's to envy about Marx.

If you want to convert most of the world to your ideology you better call yourself a god then, or at least a prophet -- not a mere philosopher.

I'd be very happy to persuade 1000 people – but only counting productive doer/thinker types who learn it in depth. That's better than 10,000,000 fans who understand little and do less. I estimate 1000 great people with the right philosopher [typo: PHILOSOPHY] is enough to promptly transform the world, whereas the 10,000,000 fans would not.

EDIT: the word "philosopher" should be "philosophy" above, as indicated.
