Memento Park Phot-o' the Day: Marx and Engels in Granite

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels stiff in granite at Memento Park, just outside of Budapest. "Socialist realism" at its most stiff and least real.

This makes me think of that wonderful old song by Joe Strummer and the Clash, "The Magnificent Seven," when you get to the twelfth or thirteenth verse:

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels / Came to the checkout at the Seven Eleven
Marx was skint but he had sense / Engels lent him the necessary pence
