Karl Marx was a German-Prussian philosopher, economist, sociologist, author, and revolutionary socialist. His economic ideas formed the basis of communism, seen all over the world today. Marx was very popular because of his predictions about the fall of capitalism and the rise of the working class through revolution presented in his book, Manifesto of the Communist Party, written in 1848. Marx was very committed to his idea that history has always been affected by class struggles. , which he addresses in his book. His ideas are often very controversial, and in the Communist Manifesto there are many controversial issues. In the first section of the Communist Manifesto, Marx explains the class struggles of modern society, particularly between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. He also points out that in today's modern society, all exploitative relationships covered by ideology (i.e. religion) have all been uncovered and revealed to be solely related to self-interest staff. Finally, he explains that the bourgeoisie must continually change the way it leads if it wants to stay in power. The Proletariats, according to Marx, goes on at length about how modern workers seem to be considered part of the machinery and are only good for the work they produce. Marx reveals that the proletariats constitute a single class and that they are linked by the miserable existence they share in common. He believes that they have nothing to lose and that by being proletariat, they have no power or privilege to defend; on the contrary, to help themselves, they must destroy the entire class system. For this reason, when they make revolution, they destroy everything. In the second chapter, Marx explains in detail how religion and philosophy... middle of paper ... are not in the market to bargain, because for them they can find just about anyone willing to replace you. The closest thing to a “revolution” is the rank and file unions going on strike when they want higher wages and so on. These are somewhat effective, if everyone agrees. In conclusion, Marx may have been right about a lot of things, but he was also wrong about a lot of other things. Everyone thinks of Karl Marx as this terrible person for inventing communism, but no one realizes that real Marxist ideas never came into being. People like Lenin interpreted Marx's beliefs in their own way and ultimately transformed this idea into one that everyone is concerned about. Personally, I think Marx should have spent a little less time criticizing capitalism and a lot more time trying to find a way to replace it..
