Показать описание

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, economist, and political theorist who had a profound influence on the development of socialist and communist ideologies. He is best known as the co-author, along with Friedrich Engels, of "The Communist Manifesto" (1848) and the author of "Das Kapital" (1867-1894).

Marx's ideas revolve around the critique of capitalism and the advocacy for a classless society. He argued that capitalist societies were characterized by inherent class struggle between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class), with the bourgeoisie exploiting the labor of the proletariat for their own economic gain. Marx believed that this exploitation would eventually lead to a proletarian revolution, resulting in the overthrow of the capitalist system and the establishment of a socialist society where the means of production are collectively owned and controlled by the workers.

While Marx's ideas have been subject to various interpretations and criticisms, his contributions have had a significant impact on social, economic, and political thought. His work has influenced a range of disciplines, including sociology, economics, political science, and philosophy. Marx's theories have played a role in shaping political movements and revolutions worldwide, particularly in the 20th century, where Marxist ideas have been influential in the formation of socialist and communist states.
