Karl Marx
Derperalla
Karl Marx Born in Prussia on May 5, 1818, Karl Marx is considered to be one of the most influential thinkers of history. Although he was not the type of adolescent his parents had hoped for, he became a notable historian, sociologist, journalist, philosopher, and economist. He explored sociopolitical theories and became interested in the philosophical ideas of the Young Hegelians and the writings of Friedrich Hegel. In 1842, he became the editor of Rheinische Zeitung, a liberal newspaper in Cologne. His socialist writings eventually lead to his expulsion from Germany and France. In 1848, he published The Communist Manifesto with Friedrich Engels and was exiled to London, where he wrote the first volume of Das Kapital. The rest of his life was spent writing and editing manuscripts for additional volumes, which he never completed. Ultimately, his achievement was providing an economic basis for the communist movement (Bussing-Burks 78). Karl Marx published several books, developed new theories, and made many other significant contributions to society. One of his most famous works was The Communist Manifesto. In this essay, Karl Marx argues that class struggles between the bourgeoisie and proletarians. Marx believed that all property should be publically owned. There would be no government, and everyone would work together for the good of the community. Thus, the society would be classless and stateless (Heilbroner 157). Marx's theories about society, economics, and politics, commonly known as Marxism, say that all societies progress through the dialectic of class struggle. His theory of Marxism had three component parts: dialectical materialism, historical materialism, and Marxist economics (Sewell). It is a conflict between an ownership class, which controls production and a lower class which produces the labor for goods. Another one of his famous works of literature is Das Kapital. In this book, Marx argues that
