Karl Marx
From Metapedia
Karl Heinrich Marx (May 5, 1818 – March 14, 1883) was a 19th century political theorist and ideologue. He is best known as the father of communism. While Marx was a relatively obscure figure in his own lifetime, his ideas began to be influential on socialist movements shortly after his death. This influence was given added impetus by the victory of the Marxist Bolsheviks in the Russian October Revolution.
Karl Marx was born into a Jewish family of rabbis. The original family name was Mordechai. [1] He lived in Dean Stret, London and squalor. He used the Red Lion, Great Windmill Street, Soho where he and Friedrich Engels were asked to write what became the Manifest der kommunistischen Partei or Communist Manifesto
