Karl Marx is credited, along with Max Weber and Emile Durkheim, as one of the founders of classical sociology.
Industrialization sybolized change and progress, which are major ideas of liberalism. However, the main reason was Karl Marx. To understand this, we must look at the Industrial Revolution. In the ID, factories sprouted up at an alarming rate. Workers there were treated unfairly and the government was not doing anything about it. However, Marx wanted a classless society and disagreed with factory conditions. As social workers and labor unions (liberal ideals) developed, so did the desire for a people's government, hence the growth of liberalism.
Capitalism and religion. Marx rejected the economic system of Capitalism because it resulted (among other reasons) in the oppression of the masses by the owners of the means of production or upper class. He also rejected religion calling it the opium of the people inflicted upon them by the upper class to keep them under control.
No, Karl Marx was not a positivist. Positivism is a philosophical approach that emphasizes empirical evidence and scientific method to understand the world, while Marx's theories focused on social critique and historical materialism. Marx believed in historical and dialectical materialism to analyze and critique capitalist societies.
There are four Marx brothers in the 1932 comedy: Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo.
Karl Marx classified the capitalist societies into four major classes. These classes include the bourgeoisies, proletariat, landlords, and the petty bourgeoisie and middle class.
What is freedom?Is it freedom from something, or freedom to do something? There is a difference.Classical Liberals speak of rights, and equality of rights.Reform Liberals speak of equality of opportunity, consider state education and labour laws.Marx and Socialist thinkers speak of an equality of outcome, from each according to his ability to each according to his need.Building from that, Marx would see the sale of wage labour under capitalism (consider Classical Liberals such as John Locke or modern Libertarians) as intrinsically inequal, placing power in the hands of the capitalists. A worker has the right to chose who he works for, but if he must choose between working for an oppressive factory owner or another oppressive factory owner or being unemployed and starving, then is this actually freedom?Try taking a look further at 'The German Ideology' and 'Wage Labour and Capital' and consider Marx's critique of the capitalist system advocated by Classical Liberals, like John Locke and his emphasis on property. Good luck.Source(s):I am in my third year of undergraduate studies in Sociology and Political Science.

Marx
Karl Marx was an atheist. He had been born an ethnic Jew, but he was not schooled in the Jewish teaching or culture. At age 6, Marx and all his family became Lutherans. His father decided this, mainly because living and working in predominantly Lutheran Germany, it was expedient to be a Christian than a Jew. Later, as Marx formed his theories on historical evolution he came to see religion as irrational, undignified and hypocritic, hence he rejected all religions. Many indications show that he rejected his native Jewish religion the most.
