Karl Marx (1818 - 1883) was a 19th-century philosopher, economist, and political theorist best known for his critique of capitalism and his role in developing socialist and communist thought. His most influential works include "The Communist Manifesto", co-written with Friedrich Engels, and "Das Kapital", where he analyzed the capitalist system and its socio-economic implications.
He argued that class struggle drives historical change and advocated for the proletariat's revolution to overthrow capitalist societies. His ideas have had a profound impact on political movements and economic theories worldwide.
