The title is enough to get this posted, but the article has some humdingers as well...
"In 1867 [Marx] wrote to Friedrich Engels of the boils “on my posterior and near the penis”
“In addition to reducing his ability to work, which contributed to his depressing poverty, hidradenitis greatly reduced his self-esteem. This explains his self-loathing and alienation, a response reflected by the alienation Marx developed in his writing.”
Makes complete sense... Link

Great story. How ironic the hero of the working class really just hated himself because he wouldn't wash properly.
