Karl Marx
Karl Marx was a German philosopher, economist, and revolutionary socialist best known for his critique of capitalism and his theories about socialism and communism. His seminal works, including 'The Communist Manifesto' and 'Das Kapital', laid the theoretical foundation for the modern socialist movement. Marx argued that economic systems are defined by class struggles and believed in the historical inevitability of the proletariat's rise to power, which would lead to a classless society. His ideas have had a profound impact on political thought and movements worldwide.
