micho, Karl Marx is all about the equal sharing of resources. The basic premise of Karl Marx's writings is that the economic, social and political orders of the world have one very basic purpose: exploiting the producers of value (the laborers or the proletariat) in order to continue the hegemony of the industrial/owning classes (the bourgeoisie).

He also says that the world can be seen through the class struggle of the ages. He studies history through economics and he says that eras advance due to economic factors. Ultimately, he says, when societies industrialize, the workers will overthrow their exploiters and establish a socialist society, which will penultimately result in a Communist utopia (an ideal world).

His writings have had a massive impact on every sphere of human life for the last two hundred years.

Karl Marx was basically a critique of capitalism and in the favour of communism/socialism,he said that capitalism is the reason behind economic disparity in the society.capitalism supports a few, although his opponents criticize him by saying that if communism was best system then why soviet union was disintegrated.Marx explained ''class struggle'', which was an outcome of capitalism according to him.

marxian thought rests on the fundamental assumption that it is human nature to transform nature, as he calls this process as labour and the capacity to transform nature as labour power, for marx this is natural capacity for physical activity, but it is intimately tied to the active role of human consciousness.

marx analysis of history is based on his distinction between the means of production and the relation of production, in other words, the social and technical relationships.Marx observed the European societies had progressed from the feudal mode of production to the capitalist mode of production, he thinks that the means of production change more rapidly than the relations of production.

political economy das kapital:


Marx argued that people sell their labour power when they accept compensation in return to whatever work they do in a given period of time.in return for selling their labour power they receive money, which allows them to survive.those who must sell their labour power are proletarians and who buy labour are capitalist or bourgeoisie.

Marx argued that capitalism was prove to periodic crisis.capitalists would invest more and more on technology, instead of labour,

Yes, that's correct. In his opinion, Economical/Financial status dominates EVERY other thing.

From what I heard, he had a daughter who died and he didn't even had enough money for the burial.. so that should explain why he thought that it's the financial status that matters more than anything else

He didn't received any worth considering fame as long as he was living but after his death he became very famous and still is very famous.
