Karl Marx
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.Karl Marx

Karl Marx
A German political philosopher who wrote the Manifesto of the Communist Party (Communist manifesto), Das Kapital, and was the editor in chief of the liberal newspaper "Neue Rheinische Zeitung". Is the father of modern communism and has a tight grave in england that some idiots tried to blow up with a pipe bomb in 1970.
Example:
In works such as Das Kapital and 11th Thesis on Feuerbach, Karl Marx stated that “greed will be the death of capitalism” because the wages of an average working class man was not enough to be put back into the capitalist system. When later capitalist economists read Marx’s writings, the concept of consumerism was born. In this system, a factory worker will be paid enough to purchase a product that his factory made. This purchase allows a manager to extract surplus value from their workers by selling them a product for more than they were paid to make it. Repeat this process for millions of workers, and you have a consumer society. In this way Marx defined modern economics over 150 years ago, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Karl Marx
Chap who lived back in the nineteenth century. Grew a big beard, in which he invested quite a lot. Had a good head for mathematics and wrote a lot about property and political evolution. A bit boring, not always on the money, and misunderstood by airheads and meatheads, as dead white males usually are. He overestimated both human generosity and the idea of membership of the working class as a badge of pride. Someone recently posted that he taught that the lazy should be allowed leech off the hard-working. This actually is a pretty good picture of present-day America, where the lazy keep getting away with it because the hard-working keep voting for them.

A cool guy with a wafro and a Noah beard who invented a supposedly wonderful system called communism. Unfortunately this doesnt work for a couple reasons-
-Dipshits like Stalin tried to seize absolute power within communist nations; which, of course, corrupts absolutely.
-There are too many assholes for communism to work, and large amounts of people don't like to co-operate.

Example:
-"The modern eduction system is a bastardisation of Marxist theory, warped into a sickening variation of a dictatorship."
-"I FUCKIN LOVE YOUR HAIR, KARL MARX!!!!"

Karl Marx
The least appreciated member of a famous 1930s Hollywood family. Unlike his brothers; Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo, and Zeppo, Karl did not star in any black and white comedic films. Dissapointed with his own failure to achieve cinimatic immortality. Karl sought consolation through his writing.
Example:
"This manifesto is definately the least funny thing ever produced by the Marx brothers. Karl Marx is definately the least talented member of the family."

Karl Marx
Important 19th century economist and philosopher who, like many other academics of his time, believed that God was a character in a fictional novel. Is remembered best for writing The Communist Manifesto along with Freidrich Engels, though Das Kapital(The Capital) gives more thorough coverage of his economic theories and philosophies. He is often ridiculed unjustly by right-leaning economists, but any economist worth his beans is familiar with the work of Karl Marx. The philosopher Jean-Paul Satre used some of Marx's work in creating the philosophy of Existentialism. The word Marxist, derived from his name, is a mild euphimism often used to replace the term dirty athiestic blood-sucking communist scumbag.
Example:
: : Hi. I'm Karl. I'm a pretty nice guy who likes daisies. I am probably gay, according to more ignorant conservatives. Evil dictators have a bad habit of erecting my statue - I have that much in common with Jesus. I'm not all that bad at math, and I made up a lala land called communism where everyone could be happy. Too bad it doesn't quite work. Socialism works though. Try it. : :

Karl Marx
The worst writer after Nietzsche and Ayn Rand. He talked about the exploitation of labor but he hired a slave maid to clean his rotten ass and he refused to pay her. He was a major asshole and a psychopath who despised the borgeoise but lived off the money of his friend Engels' cotton mills. His writings were the reason behind the death of 100 million innocent people
