Um, acktchually, since Marx was german, his Writing would look more like this Sentence because of the Rules of the german Language and he also wouldn’t have minded using capital Letters because he’d call them Bigletters. Or maybe Majuskel when he felt pretentious. So there.
A German media outlet had a headline in 2020 along the lines of “Wir wünschen BIDEN Kandidaten viel Glück” - “Best of luck to BOTH candidates”. It’s an untranslatable pun based on “Biden” and the German word for “both” being homophones (and also near homonyms).
Capitalizing nouns is an extremely simple rule with no exceptions that tells you what kind of word you are looking at at a glance. Compared to whatever the fuck the remainder of German grammar is, that rule is amazing.
That is an Insult for the glorious Language of my Forebears and a Freshness that i me not listen to will. A beautiful Day wish i You, the Sir/the Dame.

Grew up in a country with mandatory German classes in school, can confirm.
I didn’t mind the capitalization of all nouns anywhere near as much as the unholy mess that is German grammar, though 🤷 😄

My one year of German from high school translated that into “I am (Joe) Biden”
