"In 1845, Karl Marx declared: “philosophers have only interpreted the world in
various ways; the point is to change it”.
Change it he did.
Political movements representing masses of new industrial workers, many
inspired by his thought, reshaped the world in the 19th and 20th centuries
through revolution and reform. His work influenced unions, labour parties and
social democratic parties, and helped spark revolution via communist parties in
Europe and beyond.
Around the world, “Marxist” governments were formed, who claimed to be
committed to his principles, and who upheld dogmatic versions of his thought as
part of their official doctrine.
Marx’s thought was groundbreaking. It came to stimulate arguments in every
major language, in philosophy, history, politics and economics. It even helped
to found the discipline of sociology.
Although his influence in the social sciences and humanities is not what it
once was, his work continues to help theorists make sense of the complex social
structures that shape our lives."
