Karl Marx: German Socialist
built 613 days ago
Karl Marx (1818-1883) was the most important of all socialist thinkers and the creator of a system of thought called Marxism, and the political system called Communism. He helped organize the international socialist movement. His ideas motivated radical political activists who joined his call to overthrow capitalism. Marxism, reduced to the theory that all events are caused by economic self interest, had a strong influence on many areas of thought from politics to history to literature, although it cut rather little swath in the discipline of economics itself.

The German philosopher and founder of international communism, Karl Marx (1818–83), wrote on many occasions about the French Revolution, which he considered the first stage in an eventual worldwide proletarian revolution. In this relatively early work from 1852, Marx compares the French Revolution of 1789 with that of 1848. Marx considered the French Revolution the classic example of the "bourgeois revolution," in which capitalism overthrew feudalism, creating the legal conditions under which capitalism could flourish.

Sadly, because of Marx' struggle with Midgetism and Obesity, Marx had many sexual needs and means. Several years after his death, Scientists speculated that Marx, was in fact, getting "Gay" with many of the petty Bourgouisie. Marx would often get wasted at his house, he would dress up as a woman, managing to get into many of the capitalist owned stores (Which were at that time owned by the African American Nazi party of Germany). This information shocked many Marxists, who couldn't believe their idol would do that. They could not believe that an Ultra Liberal who was obese and spent massive amounts of time writing books with Engels, would possible be Gay. This has left a dent on Marx's reputation, and has led to the theory which speculates that Marx has currently been reincarnated into Vin Diesel circa late 2004, and is haunting the world with horrifyingly unfunny and terrifically boring movies.
