Marxism

Marxism Marxism Marx Karl Heinrich Marx was a revolutionary, sociologist, historian, and an economist. He was born on May 5, 1818 in Trier, Rhineland, Germany, or Prussia at that time. He was born into a professional family with deep Rabbinic roots. His father, Heinrich, at the time was a successful lawyer. Baptized at the age of six, he was not greatly influenced by religion; rather, it was the radical social policies during the Enlightenment that influenced him greatly. The reason for this was partly because of his Jewish background, which exposed him to prejudice and discrimination, which caused him to question the role of religion in life, thereby fuelling his interest for a change in his society. In October 1836, he left for the University of Bonn, where he joined the “Young Hegelians” who were more or less, disciples of Hegel’s philosophy. Over time, he began to reject the “Young Hegelians” as being sufficiently less materialist and realist. After moving to Paris and writing his Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts, he already saw himself as a communist. He saw “socialism” as being a pacific term veering more towards Utopian ideas, while “communism” was a society, world, class, matter, materialism, communist, system, slave, negation, material, socialism, ideas, transmutation, proletariat, one, middle, marxism, made, working, turn, time, through, seen, product, private, previous, marx, known, however, final, feudalism, divided, circle, capitalist, brain
