On This Day in History

Exactly 207 years ago on May 5, Karl Marx, the greatest thinker of mankind, was born. Marx's most important merit is the discovery of the law of development of human history. “The simple fact that men must eat, drink, have lodgings, and clothe themselves before being able to engage in politics, science, art, religion, etc.; that, consequently, the production of the immediate material means of subsistence and thus each stage of the economic development of a people or epoch form the basis on which the institutions of state, the legal views, the arts, and even the religious conceptions of given people develop, and from which they must therefore be explained - and not vice versa, as has hitherto been done...” . Marx was the greatest scientist and in every field he explored he was bound to make discoveries.

But Marx was above all a revolutionary for whom theory was always inseparable from practice. He participated in one way or another in the destruction of capitalist society and the state institutions it created. The liberation of the modern proletariat, to whom he first gave consciousness of its own situation and its needs, consciousness of the conditions of its emancipation, was in reality his life's vocation.
The crowning achievement of his struggle was the creation of the great International Workers' Association - the First International. In brief, Karl Marx's theory is the doctrine of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the construction of a classless society. Later on, another great genius Vladimir Lenin developed this doctrine, enriching its content with the summarized experience of the entire recent development of the proletarian revolution.

In order to more fully understand who Marx was and what is the meaning of his theory, I recommend a small work by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin “Karl Marx”. In it Lenin gave a summary of the whole theory of Marxism. This brilliant work I advise you to read or reread on the birthday of the great scientist, thinker and revolutionary - Karl Marx
marx was not a great thinker he was a fool and buffoon responsible foer the deatsh of 100 million and counting

He discovered no law of human development. His predictions of human developemnt have all been disproven

Marx was no scientist at all. he developed and tested no model of any kind and his ideas are garbage.

groups do not have a consciousness that includes the proletariate.

In order to understand the meaning of his theory merely look at any slave state

On May 17, Kamikaze picked up 320 men from the water. 880 Japanese sailors died, including Vice Admiral Hashimoto, commander of the 5th Squadron, and the ship's commander, Kaya Sugirua.
