Information
London in Karl Marxās day ā¦
First things first ā the readers would like to know who this character Marx was!!
Karl Marx
Hmmā¦ well ā¦ not exactly ā¦
Charles Marx (āKarlā as heās called in German) was a Jewish-German Philosopher who lived and struggled from 1818 to 1883. Everywhere in the world heās blamed for having invented
Based on his writings and ideas, one third of humanity practices communism, while the other two thirds keep arguing about them ā¦
Anywhere you go, words like Bolshevik, Marxist, Socialism, Leninism, Red, Fidelists, Maoist, Materialist, communist and so on rub lots of people up the wrong wayā¦
Actually, Marxism today divides the world into two camps: those who hate him and those who place all their hopes in himā¦
Because Charlie Marx is just like the Bible or the Koran: many quote him, but very few know him, and even fewer understand himā¦ (or betterā¦ make him outā¦)
Marx has something to say to everybody: thereās not a major change in the last hundred years which doesnāt owe something to comrade Charlieās Influenceā¦
Economy, Literature, Space, Travel, The Arts, History, Human Relations, The Vatican, The Unions, Revolutions, Social Changes, Education, Medicine, Industry, Agriculture, Journalismā¦ everywhere youāll find a hair or two of Charlieās!!
Knowledge ā and practise ā of his ideas now makes possible what was impossible for twenty centuries: freedom from the exploitation of man by manā¦
In short: If in every sense weāre better off today, we owe that to Marx especiallyā¦
(Social Security, Pensions, Paid Holidays, Unions, Scholarships, and many other Victories are indirectly due to Marx!)
All revolutions, even those which claim to be spontaneous and without āputativeā fathers, have a Marxist Originā¦
Worker Priests are accused of being Marxists, South American Generals talk about him. Heās studied in Jesuit Schools. Others have fled Cuba when it declared itself the first Marxist country in Latin Americaā¦ but still you hear it said thereās no interest in Marxā¦
His father was a well-to-do lawyer, which allowed the young Marx to study what was in fashion then:
LAW.
Briefly: Marx went to Bonn University to study Law. But he worked harder at raising hell ANC (so his teachers say) pursuing wine, women and songā¦ to such a point that he ended up fighting a duel for a ladyās favours, which earned him a wound on the Eyebrow! You canāt really say that he kept his nose to the Grindstoneā¦
From Bonn he went to Berlin where he finished his studies. Then he returned to Bonn to try teaching, but his bad name didnāt open any doors: in Berlin heād turned Atheist AND subversiveā¦
That was too much! His society Barely tolerated artists, so just imagine what they made of Subversives!!!
It is important at this point to clear up a detail about Marxās life: although his origins were Jewish, he didnāt consider himself Jewish, or ever practise that Religion. His father had become a Lutheran and Marx himself was one, but only in his youthā¦
The University of Berlin was in a terrific Turmoil of new ideas. Religious explanations of man and the universe had been challenged and thinkers were looking round for other answers to the eternal questions of mankind ā¦
The young Marx didnāt ask himself āwhat to do?ā in the sense of āhow can I earn a living?ā But āw...
