Karl Marx, the main pioneer of the idea of "scientific socialism" was born in 1818 in the city of Trier, Germany, his father and lawyer at the age of seventeen Karl entered the University of Bonn, also studied law. Later he moved to the University of Berlin and later received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Jena.
Whether it was more interested, Marx plunged into the world of journalism and became editor of the Rheinische Zeitung briefly in Cologne. However, radical political views dragged into all manner of hardship and forced him to move to Paris. That's where he first met with Friedrich Engels. Bonds of friendship and equality binding political views of these two men as a single bi until his death.
Marx could no longer stay in Paris and immediately kicked out of there and be carrying a suitcase to move to Brussels. In this city, in 1847 he first published his thoughts are important and large The poverty of philosophy (philosophy Poverty). The following year joined hands together with Friedrich Engels published the Communist Manifesto, a book that eventually became the reading world. In the same year Marx returned to Cologne and then expelled again from there only every few months. There exile after exile here, Marx finally crossing the Strait Canal and settled in London until the end.
Although there is only a little money in the pocket thanks to the work of journalism, Marx spent a large amount of his time in London to investigate and write books about politics and economics. (In the years that Marx and relatives can help the living expenses of his best friend Friedrich Engels). The first volume of Das Kapital, Marx's most important scientific papers published in 1867. When Marx died in 1883, two volumes of the connection has not been fully completed. Both volumes of the connection was compiled and published oieh Engels hold on records and manuscripts left by Marx.
Works of Marx formulated the theoretical basis of Communism. Judging from the remarkable development of this movement in the 20th century, so it is worth if he gets a place in the high-order this book. The problem is, how high?
The main factor for this decision is the calculation of the importance of long-term Communist history. Since the growth of Communism as an integral part of contemporary history, was a little difficult to determine the future perspectives. Although no one could ascertain how much Communism could evolve and how long this ideology could survive, that's for sure he is a strong and resilient ideology and strong roots plunged into the earth, and has certainly had a major influence in the world for at least the next few centuries .
At present, about a century after Marx's death, the number of people who at least influenced by Marxism has approximately 1.3 billion number. The number of adherents is greater than the number of adherents of any ideology in human history. Not just the absolute numbers, but also as a group of the world's population. This resulted in the Communists, and also some non-Communists, believe that in the future can not Marxism will triumph throughout the world. However, it is difficult to establish the truth in the belief that no bergoyah. There have been many examples of the ideology that seems very important influence in his time but eventually wither and disappear. (Religion founded by Mani could be an interesting example). If we retroactively to 1900, would seem clear that constitutional democracy is the current fad that will be the future. Hold on to hope, it seems that way, but now no more people who believe everything has happened as the original image.
Now about Communism. Put a person believes so and know exactly how great the Communist influence in the world today and in the future world, yet people still question the significance of Karl Marx in the Communist movement. Politics Soviet government now seems not supervised by the works of Marx who wrote the premises as Hegel's dialectic style and about the theory of "value." Theories seemed little influence in the political wheel rotation practices Soviet government, politics both within and outside the country.
Communism today focuses on four ideas:
(1) A little small rich people live in luxury are abundant, while the workers were very numerous lives wallowing in misery papa.
(2) How to dismantle this injustice is to implement a socialist system, ie a system in which the means of production controlled by the state and not by a private individual.
(3) In general, only the most practical way to implement the socialist system is through violent revolution.
(4) In order to maintain the continuity of the socialist system should be governed by the dictatorship of the Communist party in the appropriate time period.
Three of the first ideas was clearly articulated before Marx. While the fourth idea comes from the idea of Marx's "dictatorship of the proletariat." Meanwhile, the length of the validity period of the Soviet dictatorship is now more a result of the steps of Lenin and Stalin than the ideas of Marx. This seems to lead to the assumption that the influence of Marx on Communism is smaller than the actual reality, and the appreciation of the writings, more like just etalasi to justify the nature of "scholarship" rather than ideas and politics that have been implemented and accepted.
While there may be some truth to that notion, but it seems too excessive. Lenin for example, do not just assume he followed the teachings of Marx, but he actually read it, live it, and accept it. He was convinced that dilimpahkannya road just above the rails stretched Marx. So also happen to Mao Tse Tung and other Communist leaders. It is true, Marx's ideas may have been misunderstood and interpreted, but this sort of thing also applies to the teachings of Jesus or Buddha, or Islam. If all the political basis of the government of China and the Soviet Union directly from the writings of Marx, he would get a higher level of order in this list.
Might be argued that Lenin, practical politician who actually founded the Communist state, holds a large stake in the building of Communism as an ideology that is so great influence in the world. This argument makes sense. Lenin was an important figure. But, in my opinion, Marx's writings are such a great influence on the mind not only Lenin but also other Communist leaders, clearly had a more important position.
Also there is an opportunity to debate whether the credit for the creation of Marxism does not have to be divided between Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. They both wrote "The Communist Manifesto" and Engels clearly had a profound impact on the final settlement of Das Kapital. Although each book in its own name but intellectual cooperation so intimate that the overall results can be considered as a collective work. Indeed, Marx and Engels were treated as a single unit in this book although that included only the name of Marx because (I think I am correct) he considered the dominant partner in a broad sense.
Finally, often accused person that the Marxist theory in economics is very bad and much mistaken. Of course, many specific allegations proved Marx wrong. For example, Marx predicted that in capitalist countries the workers will be more protracted in the time travel. Obviously, this prediction is not proven. Marx also take into account that the medium will be exposed and most of the people will go into the proletarian class, and only a few can get up and go into the capitalist class. It was certainly never proven. Marx also seems to believe, the increasing mechanization will reduce the profits of the capitalists, the trust is not only wrong but it also looks stupid. But, regardless of whether economic theory is right or wrong, it does not have anything to do with the influence of Marx. The importance of a philosopher lies not in his opinion but the truth lies in the question of whether his thoughts have moved people to act or not. Measured from this angle, no doubt Karl Marx had a tremendous importance wonderful.
