I don't know why it has to be Kautsky in the comic of all people. This comic could have easily had it be Marx and Engels, and it would have made way more sense since they worked together in real life a lot. Why have Marx paired up with a reformist and opportunist? They likely wouldn't have gotten along in real life, given Marx's views on reformism and opportunism. 1/2

Plus, Kautsky likely wouldn't have given the workers guns. He would have suggested the workers try to reform their workplace peacefully without engaging in violence towards their horrible boss. 2/2
@Radical_EgoCom @TheDialecticalCommunist @existentialcomics Indeed, but I'm assuming it was so the author could make a "Karls" joke in line with the "Bobs" joke from Office Space, to which this comic's flow is an homage.
