5、ist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist, whose ideas played a significant role in the development of social science and the socialist political movement. Marx was born May 5, 1818 in Trier, Germany which is located in the southwest of Germany near Luxemburg. Trier is the oldest city in Germany

Karl Marxs father; Herschel Marx, was born Ashkenazi Jewish, converted from Judaism to the Protestant Christian denomination of Lutheranism to continue practicing law after a Prussian order denied Jews the bar. Karl Marx was p
7、rivately educated until 1830, when he was enrolled in the Trier High School where he studied philosophy and social science. The school was raided in 1832 by police because of the liberal humanist views taught to the students in angst of the Prussian government. Like his father Karl Marx pursued the
8、study of law. Marx enrolled at the University of Bonn. While at Bonn, Marxs studies were diluted by his frolicking and irresponsible lifestyle. Marx accrued a great deal of debt and was injured in a duel. Heinrich Marx paid off his sons debts and insisted on his enrollment at Berlin University. At t
9、he more conservative University of Berlin, Karl Marxs studies improved dramatically. It was at the Berlin University that he was introduced to the philosophical writings of G. W. F.

Because of immigration, the boom-and-bust cycles of market economy, rising inequality, the increase of western settlement, and territorial expansion in the United States, Americans had difficulty keepin

Social reform movements such as temperance, reform of penitentiaries and asylums, antimasonry, abolition and womens rights were the results of a period of religious renewal in the United States after the War of 1812.

As Engels wrote after their first meeting “complete agreement in all theoretical fields.” Die Heilige Familie was written with Friedrich Engels as a critique on the Young Hegelians and their school of tho

Marxs publisher suggested the title of the book, The Holy Family, as a satirical reference to the Bauer Brothers. “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.Freemen and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guildmaster and journeyman, in a word, opp

Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, Marx believed socialism would, in its turn, replace capitalism, and lead to a stateless, classless s

This would emerge after a transitional period called the dictatorship of the proletariat: a period sometimes referred to as the workers state or workers democracy“”MARXISMVarious states around the globe have modeled Marxism as a base for their own politics and policies
