Karl Marx
Marx tells everyone that communism is here, and is going to take over. After getting kicked out of everywhere else, Marx went to England and lived there for 35 years. He went to the British Museum everyday. In 1859, he wrote Das Kapital, but the workers couldn't understand it because it was too tough to read. Marx had 5 major theories. First, the Theory of Economic interpretation of history; everything in history is done through economics. Second, the Theory of class struggle; social classes hate each other, and continue to hate each other. Third, Psychological alienation; everybody becomes a "wage slave", meaning that everyone has to work in order to eat. People are angry about the situation that they are living in. Fourth, the Dialectic; it consists of a way of thinking and a cyclical theory of history. Marx believed that every historical era has a dominating economic force.
