The Aim of Utopia
The founder of Communism was Karl Heinrich Marx (1818 -1883). Marx
was a German philosopher, political economist, historian,
sociologist, humanist, political theorist and revolutionary. The
Communist Manifesto (1848) was his most important work. Mark said,
"Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, socialism will in its turn
replace capitalism and lead to a stateless, classless society which
will emerge after a transitional period, the 'dictatorship of the
proletariat." Essays included in this work are A CRITICISM OF THE
HEGELIAN PHILOSOPHY OF RIGHT, ON THE JEWISH QUESTION, ON THE KING
OF PRUSSIA AND SOCIAL REFORM, MORALISING CRITICISM AND CRITICAL
MORALITY: A POLEMIAGAINST KARL HEINZEN, PROUDHON, FRENCH
MATERIALISM, and THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION.
