Karl Marx
Karl Marx was a German philosopher, economist, historian, and revolutionary socialist whose ideas laid the foundation for modern communism and significantly influenced political and economic thought worldwide. Born in 1818 in Trier, Germany, Marx is best known for his critical analysis of capitalism, his theory of historical materialism, and his co-authorship of *The Communist Manifesto* (1848) with Friedrich Engels. His work remains a cornerstone of social science and continues to spark debate across disciplines.
Quotes
"We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror. But the royal terrorists, the terrorists by the grace of God and the law, are in practice brutal, disdainful, and mean, in theory cowardly, secretive, and deceitful, and in both respects disreputable."
"I’m not a Marxist"[1]
