The commercialization of Marxism - never thought I'd see that.

We have the killer Che Guevara bopping around as a pop culture icon. Anything can happen.
Unlike most the kids wearing those Che shirts, I'm aware of the irony, honest. It makes my trips to the bank a lot of fun, though. "My company's name? Oh, Das Kapital Capital." (with accent on Das Kapital, of course)

If anything, an investment firm named after Marx's magnum opus is more ironic than a communist murderer's face on a t-shirt. At least Marx never directly killed anybody so it is in somewhat better taste than the infamous t-shirt (though his ideology led to the murder of nearly a hundred million).
