Karl Marx

By Chris Gutierrez

Karl Marx was born and raised in Prussia. Marx was a good student in school and studied law at the University of Bonn in 1835. There he studied law, which can prove that he knew what he was talking about when he wrote his Philosophical essays. Some of his essays were not found until the 1900s, But his most known essay, The Communist Manifesto was the one that spread his ideas to Russia and throughout the world. This document showed his political and historical theories. Das Kapital was one of Marxs major works. In Das Kapital Marx described the free enterprise system as he saw it. Marx spent 30 years on these documents and that?s to long of a time for just making up ideas, he really believed in this idea of the same social classes. He thought that the capitalist ideas would fall and that Marxist ideas were the best form of government. I truly don?t believe his ideas are true but I think it was a pretty good idea back in the day, but today communism is leaving many countries to poverty. Marx believed that Marxism would help the people but that is not how it turned out.
