Why is Karl Marx important?

Answer 1

Marx was immensely important for a littany of reasons. But to put it in a sentence or two, he was the first to understand that history has been one long story of misery and exploitation but towards the end of it all there will be the materials needed for humanity to construct a new world free of war, poverty and misery. He made contributions too large to put into just a few words to the fields of political economy, political philosophy, social theory and history.

Answer 2

There are many reasons why Karl Marx is important. But one main important reason why is because, he was the founder of the modern communism.

I think it would be unfair to Marx to call him the father of modern communism. First Marx never laid out the form or function of a communist state. Second what ever advice he may have given for how communism might work were severly corupted by Lenin.

I would argue Marx is important because he was one of the first philospophers to acknowledge the problems of and attempt to help the new urban poor. Capitalism is clearly a great economic engine, but escpecially during the 19th century it largely failed to spread any of that economic advantage to factory workers. Marx saw and wrote about this failure, and for that reason I think he was important.

Answer 3

He wasn't. The period usually recognised as being a part of the Industrial Revolution ended before Marx was engaged in politics, also Marx never became an influential figure in the revolutionary movement in Europe let alone outside of it until after he gained a degree of infamy after his support for the Paris Commune in 1871.

Answer 4

Marx's work continues to be relevant in discussions on inequality, exploitation, and alternative economic systems.
