Marx
Karl Marx was a 19th-century philosopher and economist whose ideas focused on the struggles between social classes, particularly between the working class (proletariat) and the owning class (bourgeoisie). He argued that capitalism creates inequality and exploitation, leading to class conflict. Marx believed that this conflict would ultimately lead to a revolutionary change, resulting in a classless society where resources and power are shared more equitably. His works, especially "The Communist Manifesto" and "Das Kapital," laid the foundation for various social and political movements advocating for workers' rights and social change.
