About Karl Marx
Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, economist, and revolutionary socialist best known for his critiques of capitalism and his theories on socialism and communism. Co-authoring the "Communist Manifesto" in 1848 with Friedrich Engels, Marx argued that class struggle is a central driver of historical development, advocating for the proletariat’s overthrow of capitalist societies. His seminal work, "Das Kapital," laid the foundation for much of modern socialist thought and continues to influence political discourse worldwide.
