Karl Marx was one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of the 19th century. His ideas and theories exerted an almost unrivalled influence on 20th-century politics and history. Peter Thompson’s superb ebook tackles eight core questions, looking at Marx’s thoughts on religion, power and modernity - and how Marxism developed such a hold on socialist ideology.

The How to Believe series of books explores the teachings, philosophies, and beliefs of major thinkers and religious texts. In a short, easy-to-access format, leading writers present new understandings of these perennially important ideas.

there's alot of competing thoughts about communism and Marxism in the political climate but all are only partly true as I discovered in this book.

communism as practised by countries across the globe and communism as written about by Marx are seperate things. linked yet seperate. this book makes those distinctions which is not often seen in political discourse.

though the book is short it is sure to give you a foundation for further reading such as the communist manifesto.
