Who was Karl Marx and tell about his socialist life ?

Marx was friends with the historian Bruno Bauer during his university days. Once, he and Bauer scandalized their schoolmates by getting drunk and riding through town on donkeys!

Marx’s last words were shouted at his housekeeper. In keeping with his gruff reputation, he is reported to have said “Go on, get out! Last words are for fools who haven’t said enough!”

also his theory of history and politics. The central idea in Marx's thought involves two basic notions: that the economic system at any given time determines the current ideas; and that history is an ongoing process keeping up with the economic institutions that change in regular stages.

To Marx, capitalism (an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of goods) was the last stage of historical development before communism. The lowest social or economic class of a community, when produced by capitalism, is the last historical class

The two are fated to be in conflict—the class struggle, which Marx wrote of in the Communist Manifesto —until the lower class inevitably wins. The proletarian dictatorship, in turn, develops into communism, in which there are no classes and no inequalities.

Karl Heinreich Marx was born in Trier, Rhenish Prussia (present-day Germany), on May 5, 1818, the son of Heinrich Marx, a lawyer, and Henriette Presburg Marx, a Dutchwoman.

Karl attended the Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium in Trier for five years, graduating in 1835 at the age of seventeen.

In October 1835 Marx enrolled in Bonn University in Bonn, Germany, where he attended courses primarily in law, as it was his father's desire that he become a lawyer.

HE PUT FORWARD THE THEORY OF ALIENATION CONCERNING THE WORKER UNDER CAPITALISM

One of the most important contributions of Karl Marx is his theory of historical materialism.

It is stated most comprehensively in Die Deutsche Ideologie (The German Ideology), a set of manuscripts co-authored by Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1846.

Marx identified six successive stages of the development of these material conditions in Western Europe: primitive communism;

Instead of conceiving society as being based on consensus, Karl Marx established a conflict model of social systems.

Marx believed that class struggle played the pivotal role in the history of class-based hierarchical systems such as capitalism

In 1846, Karl Marx and his close friend Friedrich Engels established a small political circle in Brussels known as the Communist Corresponding Committee.

The League of the Just was a socialist group which had been founded by German émigrés in Paris in 1836. In June 1847, the League of the Just merged with the Communist Corresponding Committee to establish an international political party called Communist League, which remained in existence till 1852.

Marx and Engels jointly wrote the Manifesto of the Communist League, which was first published on 21 February 1848.

The Communist Manifesto had an influence, restricted to Germany, during the Europe-wide revolutions of 1848.

For forty years, from 1870s to 1910s, due to the rise of social-democratic parties, hundreds of editions of the manifesto in thirty languages were published across Europe and in parts of the world.

The principal region of its influence was the “central belt of Europe”, from Russia in the east to France in the west. Following the successful Russian Revolution, the world’s first socialist state was founded explicitly along Marxist lines and it was required for the political class to know the Communist Manifesto.

Das Kapital (Capital: Critique of Political Economy) is a three volume work by Karl Marx.

In 1864, the International Workingmen’s Association (IWA) was founded in London.

Karl Marx made several important contributions to economics. According to Marx, ‘economic science’ cannot exist separately from sociology, history etc;
