Recap / Epic Rap Battles Of History Henry Ford Vs Karl Marx

Go To

The father of the motor industry versus the father of Communism.


Tropes:

  • Abusive Parents: Karl Marx calls out Henry Ford for how horrible he was to his son Edsel.
  • Capitalism Is Bad: Karl Marx, unsurprisingly, tears into Henry Ford for treating his workers horribly and supporting fascism in the name of the almighty dollar.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: Ford gets called out for supporting Hitler's regime and therefore being in favor of the death camps and oppression. It should be noted that Ford in real life was a rabid Anti-Semite.
  • Take That!: One of Karl Marx's disses is saying that Ford was worse for Michigan than Flint's water pipes, a jab at Flint, Michigan's water supply being poisoned by improperly replaced lead pipes.
