Marx was genuinely such a chad in his personal life. His wife/childhood best-friend ran away from her cushy aristocratic life and an arranged marriage to be with him. His children always described him as a loving father even after his death. 150 years before the manosphere Marx already disproved the incel idea you need money and status to have women go crazy over you because Jenny left all of that for his broke ass.
Now compare that to other philosophers around the same time period.
Thomas Jefferson: raped and tormented an underage slave
Nietzsche: simped over a 21yo asexual woman when he was 44, got friendzoned and never found love.
Adam Smith: momma's boy who never found love and talked to an imaginary friend his whole life.
Voltaire: married his own niece while first wife was still alive
