Karl Marx, Pioneer The Idea of Scientific Socialism

Karl Marx, the main pioneer of the idea of "scientific socialism", was born in 1818 in the city of Trier, Germany, his father and his lawyer at the age of seventeen Karl entered the University of Bonn, is studying law. He later moved to the University of Berlin and then a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Jena.
Whether that was more concerned, Marx was immersed in the world of journalism and briefly became editor of the Rheinische Zeitung in Cologne. However, radical political views lead to a mix of problems and was forced to move to Paris. That's where he met Friedrich Engels first. String of friendship and equality binding on both the policy of visits to this person as a single bilingual until his death.
Marx could not long stay in Paris, and immediately expelled from there and bring a suitcase to travel to Brussels. In this city, in 1847 first published his thoughts are important and the great poverty of philosophy (philosophy of Poverty). The following year, to join hands together with Friedrich Engels published their Communist Manifesto, a book that eventually became the world of reading.There exile after exile here, finally, crossing the Straits of Marx's Channel and settled in London until the end.
Although there are only a little money thanks koceknya journalistic work, Marx spent a great deal of his time in London to research and write books on politics and economics. (In years Marx and family members can help the cost of living of his best friend Friedrich Engels). The first volume of Capital, 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 were compiled and published oIeh connections Engels held in the notes and manuscripts left by Marx.
The works of Marx formulated the theoretical basis of Communism. Judging by the tremendous growth of this movement in the 20th century, so if it's worth a place in the higher purpose of this book. The problem is, what?
The main factor for this decision is the calculation of the long-term importance of communist history. Since the growth of communism as an integral part of contemporary history, was a bit difficult to determine the prospect of future care. Although no one could determine how communism can grow and how long it can survive this ideology, that ideology is undoubtedly a strong and tough and strong roots dig into the earth, and has certainly had a great influence in the world for at least several centuries to come.
Currently, about a century after Marx's death, the number of people who, less influenced by Marxism has about 1.3 billion numbers. The number of believers is greater than the number of adherents of any ideology in human history. Not only the absolute numbers but as a group of the world's total population. This led to the communists, and also some non-Communists, believed that the future can not Marxism triumphed worldwide. 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. (The religion founded by Mani could be an interesting example). If we move in 1900, it seems clear that constitutional democracy is the current fashion, which is the future. Clinging to hope, it seems, but now more people who believe everything that has happened to the original image.
Now about communism. Putting a person believes so and know exactly how great the influence of Communists in the world today and the future of the world, but people on the significance of Karl Marx in the Communist movement. The Soviet government's policy now seems not supervised by the works of Marx who wrote the foundations of the mind like Hegel's dialectic of style and the theory of "value". Theories seemed little influence on the practice of rotation of the wheel of the Soviet government policy, both within and outside the political sphere.
Communism today is focused on four ideas: (1) small town Sekelumit rich live in luxury in abundance, while workers in many poor live miserable wallowing. (2) How to dismantle this injustice is to implement a socialist system, a system in which the state controlled the production team and not by an individual. (3) In general, only the most practical way to implement the socialist system is through violent revolution. (4) To maintain continuity of the socialist system should be governed by the dictatorship of the Communist Party in sufficient time.
Three of the first idea was clearly expressed by Marx. While the idea came from the four ideas of Marx's "dictatorship of the proletariat." Meanwhile, the duration of the validity of the Soviet dictatorship, now is more a consequence of the steps of Lenin and Stalin, Marx's ideas. This seems to lead to the assumption that the influence of Marx on Communism is smaller than reality, and appreciation of the written, rather etalasi only to justify the nature of "scholarship" of ideas and the policy been made and accepted.
While it may be true in this scenario, but it seems too excessive. Lenin, for example, not only consider themselves to follow the teachings of Marx, but really read it, live it, and accept it. The safe way dilimpahkannya just above the tracks down Marx. So what happened to Mao Zedong and other Communist leaders. 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 left directly from the writings of Marx, who obtained a higher degree of order in this list of books.
It could be argued that Lenin, the practical politician who actually founded the communist state has a stake in the construction 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, the writings of Marx's such a great influence on the minds of not only Lenin, but also from other Communist leaders, are clearly the most important position.
There is also an opportunity to discuss whether the assessment of Marxism terumusnya not be split between Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. They wrote "The Communist Manifesto and Engels clearly had a profound influence on the final settlement of Das Kapital. Although each book in its own name individually, but are the intellectual partnership so intimate that the overall results can be considered as work together. In fact, Marx and Engels are treated as one entity in this book, although only include the name of Marx because (I think I am correct) is considered the dominant partner in a broad sense.
Finally, often accused of Marxist theory in the economy is very bad and very bad. Of course, many specific allegations of Marx was wrong. For example, Marx predicted that the capitalist countries, workers will be more extended in time travel. Obviously, this prediction is not proven. Marx also takes into account that the medium will be exposed to people and most come in the proletarian class, and only a few can get up and out of the capitalist class. Certainly this was never proven. Marx also seems to believe, the increasing mechanization reduces the profits of the capitalists, trust is not only wrong but also looks stupid. But regardless of whether economic theory is right or wrong, had nothing to do with the influence of Marx. The importance of a philosopher is not in his opinion, but the truth is on the question of whether his thoughts have moved people to act or not. Measured from this angle, of course, Karl Marx had a wonderful huge importance.by Michael H. Hart,One hundred most influential figures in the history.
