Karl Marx

 

This also was written in collaboration with Engels, who published the last two volumes after Marx's death. The first volume appeared in 1867, soon after which he later returned to Paris but was expelled once again in 1849. Marx then went to England where he made his home in London for the remaining thirty-four years of his life. He lived in wretched poverty and spent day after day studying in the British Museum library. .
             The historical period in which Marx lived was an era where very little was tolerated, politically, except the ideas of a selected few. Marx was on numerous occasions, expelled from cities because of his rogue theories and theologies. He sought to fight against the oppression that was being inflicted on his fellow working-class citizens. His unique and uncompromising personality led him in the direction of rebellion. His version of rebellions did not take place with a sword or gun, but rather with a pen and paper. Identifying injustices in the political and economical systems, in which the majority of Europe was engaged in, was the bases of his life's work. Sadly Europe was in a rapid growth phase and was enjoying its new-found wealth, Capitalism. A new era of slavery had begun, but this new era had many firewalls to protect employers from public debate about fairness in the work place. It's main shield; a corporate blockade set by high financiers who promised guaranteed wages for workers but accidentally forgot to factor the rate of wages with the on going standard of living. In terms of a capitalistic view, slavery was uneconomical because it required the master to house and feed his slave, so it was therefore replaced with an economically-friendly labour worker. This upset Marx greatly who had left his fathers wealth to seek justice and equality for all citizens.
             Marx's writings were, for the most part, economically and politically feasible but implementation of his unorthodox theories would be easier said then done.
