#1 - Karl Marx and the Class Struggle

The Germans - Season 2 - Episode 7

He is one of the most influential bestselling authors in world history, and yet very few have read his work in its entirety. His teachings became a substitute religion, even though he never saw himself as a founder of a faith, but rather as a scientific analyst. “I am no Marxist,” Karl Marx (1818–1883) quipped, a man whose work influenced the course of world history like no other German since Luther. From the mid-20th century onward, roughly half of humanity was governed by regimes that drew upon the German thinker’s ideas.
