'''Karl Marx''' (1818-1883) was the most important of all socialist thinkers and the creator of a system of thought called Marxism, and the political system called Communism.  He helped organize the international socialist movement. His ideas motivated radical political activists who joined his call to overthrow capitalism. Marxism, reduced to the theory that all events are caused by economic self interest, had a strong influence on many areas of thought from politics to history to literature, although it cut rather little swath in the discipline of economics itself.
