The Last Supper by Karl Marx

Author's name: Faisal Al-Ahmar

When Karl Marx leaves the European capitals, traveling to Algeria... and when he discovers the East for the first time, and is immersed in the issues, stories, and concerns of the colonized... and loves their way of weaving the garments of hope, patience, compassion, coexistence, and acceptance of the racially and religiously different... and when the living, suffering voice in the Arab street becomes more important than the sayings of thinkers in books and in the corridors of European academies that herald a better life while justifying and theorizing about organized destruction... and when the left-wing thinker discovers that the world under colonialism is neither left-wing nor right-wing nor even centrist... only then, while he struggles with illness and disappointment in the last days of his life, will the thinker write On the cover of his notebook: Were we misguided? Then he prepares himself for his last supper.
