Editing Marx, Karl

(May 5, 1818 - March 14, 
1883): Karl Marx was a Prussian-German 
economist and philosopher, whose ideas and 
teachings played an important role in the 
development of socialism. Marx’s political, 
economic and social theories are derived from 
the belief that society experiences distinct class 
struggles between an elite ownership which 
controls production and a proletariat class 
which provides the labour for production, a 
system seen as inherently unfair and flawed. 
He fought for the introduction of a classless, 
stateless society called communism and along 
with Fredrick Engels wrote seminal communist 
works including The Communist Manifesto.
