About this listen

 Karl Marx was a 19th-century German philosopher and economist who is best known for his ideas about communism and the labor movement. Born on May 5, 1818, in Trier, Prussia, Marx studied philosophy and economics at the University of Berlin. He later moved to Paris, where he met Friedrich Engels, with whom he collaborated on many works, including the influential book "The Communist Manifesto." Marx's ideas focused on the concept of class struggle and the exploitation of the working class by the capitalist class. He argued that capitalism creates alienation and inequality, and that a proletarian revolution is necessary to overthrow the capitalist system and establish a socialist society. Marx's theories have had a significant impact on modern thought and politics, influencing socialist and communist movements around the world. His ideas remain relevant today, with many scholars and activists continuing to study and apply his theories.
