In a history rich with thinkers and philosophers, only a hand-full can make such a large impact on the world as to cause it to utterly and completely change its future, its destiny. Carl Marx was one of these thinkers, a man who would change the way that the world thought in one direction or the other. Speaking on many topics, this writer had different views than most; writing on socialism, communism, and his own Marxism. In effect, one can take his ideas and compare and contrast them to find potentially good and bad aspects. Carl Marx: One intelligent man, one mistaken person.
Carl Marx started out merely following in his father’s footsteps. Like him, he studied law and received his doctorate in 1842. After this however, his life took a radical change. He met Hegel, a man with many interesting ideas. Marx agreed with many of them, while still disagreeing with others, including Absolute Idealism. Without this man, Marxism would probably not exist, for Hegel opened the eyes of Marx to many paths of thought such as how the paths of history are dialectical. Hegel made a huge impact on Marx’s life, and therefore history regards him as the last philosopher.
Once Marx moved on, he began to form his own ideas. These ideas had a bit of Hegel in them, yet they were unique in other ways. As he finished his work on his doctorate, he discovered that it would not be possible for him to continue his current line of thought and work as a professor, because the German government would not allow it. He then decided to become a journalist, where we found him writing on his favorite topics: Socialism and Communism.
Marx’s first item on his agenda was to attempt to understand human history. He believed that all of history was necessary for us as a species to reach where we are today. He explained many examples of this; all of which he believed must be ridden of so that we can move on. First, he talked of slavery. In slavery, he saw a tactic that was brutal, yet required: for without it, how can we know it is harsh and wrong. This is his reasoning for many of the indecent periods in our history. We as humans must learn from our mistakes in order to know what is right.
Another very large hit for Marx was on capitalism. He felt that capitalism was prehistoric; an unintelligible type of government that was not good for the people it was supposed to serve. He believed it was flawed internally, so therefore nothing could be done to fix it. In this, no matter what fixing the people...
