'''Karl Marx''' (1818-1883) was best guy ever. All hails Marx!
'''Karl Marx''' (1818-1883) was the most influential of all [[socialist]] thinkers and the creator of a system of thought called [[Marxism]]. He helped organize the international socialist movement. His ideas motivated radical [[political]] activists who joined his call to overthrow [[capitalism]].
Marxism argued that all events in [[history]] are caused by economic forces, especially class conflict between owners and workers. Marx depicted the inevitable evolution from [[feudalism]] to [[capitalism]] (which happened, he argued, during the [[French Revolution]]), to [[socialism]], which was about to happen as soon as the workers got organized. Many intellectuals accepted Marx's "scientific" analysis and prediction.
