German court declares Karl Marx's teachings unconstitutional

The court believes that when it comes to Marx, the problem lies in the concept of the “dictatorship of the proletariat.”

The court points out that the meaning of this concept “inevitably excludes other population groups from the political decision-making process and the indirect exercise of state power,” stating, in other words, that the dictatorship of the proletariat is “undemocratic.”

Yeah, such as the feudal lords and the clergy.

...oh wait you're saying those aren't social classes any more? Wait a bit and capitalism will do the same towards the petit-bourgeoisie.

And when it comes to the bourgeoisie the whole thing sounds like that "I consent!" meme.
