Karl Marx

"The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways—the point however is to change it.” is one of Karl Heinrich Marx's most famous quotes. He was born in 1818 in a middle-class family in Trier, Germany in the Kingdom of Prussia. He was one of the most influential socialist to come out in the 19 century. He was a German philosopher, social scientist, historian, and revolutionary communist. Even though most people in Trier were Catholics, he decided to become a protestant. Although when he was alive all his ideas were completely ignored by scholars after he died in 1883 his social, economic and political ideas quickly gained acceptance.
His book The Communist Manifesto published in 1848, is known as one of the worlds most influential political manuscripts.Karl was a man that wanted to change a lot of things, and he did, he was very inspiring to everyone.

I do think he made a difference in the world because apparently the communist manifiesto made a huge impact and a lot of people looked up to him!

Karl Marx's quote is very true. I agree with him completly. I think he did make a change in the world, not only from the philosopher's view. Nice job
