Karl Marx was a pretty smart guy, a heavy drinker and smoker, and a lover, too. Aparently a very good father. A scientist who found a scientific basis for socialism, the first step of a type of society called communism, and the first step after capitalism. The father of historical materialism. Always hated people who spoke of a socialism but not including communism, which would automatically follow up after socialism. His picture was pretty much destroyed by people like Stalin, castro, Mao and several socialists.
Karl Marx realized that most people who starve aren't lazy. And that there's something wrong with that. After that, he found out that sience is on his side, too.

An ugly bearded man who's political philosophies centred themselves on the idea that the lazy should be able to leach off the hard working.

A secluded individual who had few friends if any, shunned by his family, and society, and who died decades before anyone took him seriously.
" Karl Marx was my friend "
" Was he your best friend? "
" No, I was his "
" Wow, how sad "
" Hey! Shutup....although he did grab tight on my leg everytime I told him I had to go. "

Karl Marx was a German philosopher, political economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, communist, and revolutionary whose ideas are credited as the foundation of modern communism. Marx summarized his approach in the first line of chapter one of The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848: “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” He believed that the roots of human misery lay in class conflict, the exploitation of workers by those who own the means of production. Social change, in the form of the overthrow of the capitalists by the workers (proletariat), was inevitable from Marx’s outlook. Although Marx did not consider himself as a sociologist, his ideas have influenced many sociologists today, especially conflict theorists.
"Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks." - Karl Marx
