Revolutionary philosopher Karl Marx

Karl Marx was a revolutionary, sociologist, historian, and economist who was born on May 5, 1818 in Trier, Rhine province, Prussia.

He wrote ‘The Communist Manifesto,’ which became the most famous pamphlet in the history of the socialist movement. He was also the author of Das Kapital, the movement’s most important book.

These writings, along with others by Marx and Engels, serve as the foundation for the body of thought and belief known as Marxism.

His theories about society, economics, and politics are collectively known as Marxism. He argued that society would be governed by the working class in what he called the “dictatorship of the proletariat”.

In a 1999 BBC poll, Marx was voted the “thinker of the millennium” by people from around the world.

Karl Marx’s greatest influence today stems from his examination of capitalism and his account of communism.

Marx framed capitalism within its historical context, seeing it as merely the current stage of human progress or a step along his dialectic.

He highlighted many of capitalism’s flaws, such as large inequalities, and presented compelling arguments for why it makes many people unhappy, such as a sense of alienation from the jobs we have and the companies we work for.
