Karl Marx

“It may seem paradoxical that Karl Marx, whom so many working-class movements of our time claim as their Master and infallible guide to revolution, should have come from a comfortable middle-class home. Yet to a remarkable extent he does himself epitomise his own doctrine that men are conditioned by their socio-econmic circumstances. The German City in which he grew up gave him a sense of long historical tradition and at the same time close contact with the grim realities of the under-development then characteristic of Germany. Thoroughly Jewish in their origins, Protestant by necessity yet living in a Catholic region, his family could never regard their social integration as complete. The sense of alienation was heightened in Marx’s personal case by his subsequent inability to obtain a teaching post in a university system that had no room for dissident intellectuals.” - Karl Marx: a biography, page 1

Karl Marx was the great thinker, philosopher and economist. His views on life and the social structure during his time (the 19th century) revolutionized the way in which people think. He was very well known from his thought about the political and socio-economic structure. He created an opportunity for the work


ing class to rise above the patricians and failed due to the creation of the middle class. However, he was still a great revolutionary leader and set the basis of communism in Russia.

Marx’s doctoral thesis was completed in 1841. He passed his thesis into the University of Jena. It carried the title Difference between Democritean and Epicurean Natural Philosophy, which was based on Greek-language sources. – http://search.biography.com/print_record.pl?id=6048

Finally in 1845 Marx was banished from Paris from his revolutionary thought. He decided to go to Brussels, where he and Engels joined, in 1847, a group called the Communist League. As the league request, Marx and Engels drew up the Communist Manifesto in 1848. This is one of the most well known works of the pair. Once the Paris Revolution took place, Marx was banished from Belgium. He returned to France for the Revolution, and then traveled to Germany where he published the Neue Rheinische Zeitung, from June 1,1848 to May 19, 1849. Again Marx was expelled from Germany, and he returned to Paris. After the demonstration of June 13, 1849, Karl Marx was banished form Paris for the second time. That would be the last time Karl Marx was banished anywhere. Marx finally settled in London, where he lived for the rest of his life.

In High school, Karl stood out among the crowd. The school he went to accentuate on languages, and Marx’s Latin and Greek verse were very good. When asked to write a report on how to choose a profession he took a different approach. He took the angle in which most interested him, by saying that there was no way to choose a profession, but because of circumstances one is placed in an occupation. A person with an aristocratic background is more likely to have a higher role in society as opposed to someone from a much poorer background.

Karl Heinrich Marx was born May 5, 1818 in Trier, Rhenish Prussia. He was the son of Heinrich Marx, the lawyer and Henriette Presburg Marx. His parents were of Jewish descent but his father choose to become a Protestant and was baptized some time before August 1817 in order to preserve his job with the Prussian state. “And Karl was baptized in the same church in 1824, at the age of six.” http://search.biography.com/print_record.pl?id=6048.
