It is argued that almost half of the global populations claimed to be Marxists or living under Marxist authorities with the Chinese population alone being about one billion citizens. Due to the influence of Marxist ideas in modern disciplines such as history, economics and sociology, Carl Marx has been noted among the greatest social scientists of the past two centuries.
Before analyzing ideas contained in the Marxist theory, it is important to undertake a brief biographical study of Carl Marx as the founder of the theory. Although his theory called for empowerment of worker king class, Marx was born in a high-class society where his father was a lawyer in the city of Trier. During his student years, Marx had intended to have a career as a professor in philosophy after getting his law degree. However, given the political climate in Germany at the time, Marx did not get the chance to live his dream as he was considered a radical figure during his university years. After graduation, Karl Marx began his career as a writer for a liberal weekly newspaper, but the paper was shut down by the censor committee. Following the banning of his employer from publishing, Marx decided to become a freelance writer with most of his work featuring in the New York Tribune.
However, Marx was exiled from Germany and stayed briefly in France before moving to London where he commenced his work on book Das Kapital that explored the weaknesses of capitalism with a view of overthrowing the concept as a dominant economic and political ideology of the time (Cates 23).
An important aspect of Marxist theory is the notion of historical materialism that informs the analysis of the doctrine based on the philosophy of history, the economic doctrine as well as the theory of social revolution. By materialism, Marx implies that society is driven by economic forces that are very influential to the extent that they determine the consciousness of society. . .
