George:(To Buck) If it isn’t Karl Marx.

Karl Marx was a philosopher, historian and revolutionary and championed the idea that workers in large factories become part of the product to the business. It was these ideas that have led to some of the world’s revolutions and unions. George is comparing Buck to Karl because of his support for those laborers at the factory.
